Omron E6B2-CWZ6C 10P/R 0.5M Rotary Encoder
The Omron E6B2-CWZ6C 10P/R 0.5M Rotary Encoder is an incremental shaft encoder configured for applications where a low pulse count is sufficient for rotational detection and monitoring. Its 10 P/R resolution with A/B/Z NPN outputs generates movement, direction, and reference signals that can be processed by compatible industrial control equipment. The encoder operates from 5 to 24 VDC and incorporates a 40 mm diameter housing with a 0.5 m pre-wired cable. With ten pulses generated for each shaft revolution, this model provides a low-resolution option within the E6B2-C encoder platform. The E6B2-CWZ6C 10P/R establishes its relationship with the E6B2-C incremental encoder series. It forms part of the low-resolution rotary encoder range offered through Omron machine sensing solutions.
