Omron E6C3-CWZ5GH 3600P/R 2M Rotary Encoder
The Omron E6C3-CWZ5GH 3600P/R 2M Rotary Encoder is an incremental shaft encoder configured to provide high-resolution rotational information for industrial motion and positioning systems. The 3600 P/R resolution and complementary output allow shaft movement to be represented through incremental electrical signals for compatible machine controllers. Operating from 12 to 24 VDC, the encoder incorporates a 50 mm diameter housing and a 2 m pre-wired cable for routing the output connection to the control system. The longer cable differentiates this configuration from the corresponding 1 m model while retaining the same resolution and output principle. The E6C3-CWZ5GH 3600P/R 2M sits within the E6C3-C Series. It can be compared with other complementary output rotary encoders from Omron motion control products.
