E6B2-C General-Purpose Incremental Rotary Encoder E6B2-CWZ6C
OMRON — E6B2-C Series
The E6B2-C is a general-purpose incremental rotary encoder with a 40 mm body diameter and a solid shaft. It outputs A, B and Z phase pulse trains for direction and position/speed sensing, and is widely used for motor feedback, conveyor speed sensing and general machine-axis positioning. Available in NPN open-collector, PNP open-collector, voltage output, or line-driver output variants depending on order code suffix.
Key Features
- Solid-shaft, 40 mm diameter compact body
- Resolutions from 10 to 2,000 pulses/rotation depending on model
- Choice of NPN open-collector, PNP open-collector, voltage output or line-driver (RS-422A equivalent) output
- Maximum response frequency up to 100 kHz
- Maximum permissible shaft speed of 6,000 r/min
- Power supply reverse-polarity and load short-circuit protection (on applicable variants)
