Omron Corporation E6C3-AG5B Incremental Rotary Encoder

The Omron E6C3-AG5B incremental rotary encoder delivers 720 pulses per revolution for high-precision position and speed feedback in industrial motion control. This metal-bodied, flange-mounted encoder uses a solid 8 mm shaft and provides A and B phase (quadrature) signals through an NPN open-collector output, with a supply voltage range of 5 to 24 VDC and a pre-wired cable for straightforward integration. It is rated for up to approximately 6000 rpm and features an IP50 enclosure, operating from -10°C to +70°C. Common applications include conveyor systems, CNC machines, packaging equipment, and automated production lines where precise rotational monitoring and synchronization are required; it is also used in robotics, printing, material handling equipment, and automated assembly lines. Common replacements include Omron E6C2-CWZ6C 720P/R and E6B2-CWZ6C 720P/R.
