E6C3-C Rugged Incremental Rotary Encoder E6C3-CWZ5GH
OMRON — E6C3-C Series
The E6C3-C is a rugged incremental rotary encoder with a 50 mm body diameter and solid shaft, built for higher shock/vibration environments than the E6B2-C. It provides A/B/Z phase incremental output for direction-sensing and positioning on conveyors, robots and machine axes, with IP65 protection and oilproof construction for factory-floor durability.
Key Features
- Solid-shaft, 50 mm diameter aluminum housing, IP65 rated
- Resolutions from 100 to 3,600 pulses/rotation depending on model
- Complementary, voltage, or line-driver (RS-422A equivalent) output options
- Maximum response frequency up to 125 kHz
- High shock resistance: destruction rating 1,000 m/s2
- Oilproof per OMRON in-house standard, suited to harsh factory environments
