The Omron E6H-CWZ6C 3600P/R 0.5M Rotary Encoder is an incremental hollow-shaft encoder designed to detect shaft rotation without using the conventional solid-shaft configuration. It provides 3600 P/R resolution with A/B/Z open-collector outputs, producing high-resolution incremental feedback for compatible position and speed control equipment. The encoder operates from 5 to 24 VDC and uses a compact 40 mm diameter housing with a 0.5 m pre-wired cable. Its hollow-shaft construction provides a different mechanical mounting relationship with the rotating shaft, while the 3600 P/R output supports detailed motion measurement. The E6H-CWZ6C 3600P/R belongs to the E6H-C Series. Within the hollow-shaft rotary encoder range, it represents one of the encoder configurations available from Omron machine sensing products.
