Omron E6B2-CWZ6C 1000P/R 0.5M Rotary Encoder
The Omron E6B2-CWZ6C 1000P/R 0.5M Rotary Encoder is an incremental shaft encoder used to convert shaft rotation into electrical pulses for position, speed, and motion feedback in automated machinery. It provides 1000 P/R resolution with A/B/Z NPN outputs and operates from a 5 to 24 VDC power supply. The 40 mm diameter housing and 0.5 m pre-wired cable support installation where compact encoder dimensions and short cable routing are required. Its 1000-pulse resolution makes this configuration suitable for applications requiring detailed rotational feedback to PLCs, counters, and motion control equipment. The E6B2-CWZ6C 1000P/R belongs to the E6B2-C incremental encoder series. It forms part of the 1000 P/R rotary encoder range from Omron sensing products for industrial automation.
