Omron E6C3-AG5B-360P/R Incremental Rotary Encoder

The Omron E6C3-AG5B-360P/R Incremental Rotary Encoder delivers precise rotational feedback for motion control in industrial automation. It provides 360 pulses per revolution with A and B quadrature outputs, an NPN open-collector interface, and a pre-wired cable powered from 5 to 24 VDC, making it suitable for embedded control and PLC-based systems. It is designed for position tracking, speed control, and synchronization tasks in factory automation, and its metal housing with flange mounting supports a rugged installation. The device features a solid 8 mm shaft and supports speeds up to about 6000 rpm, with IP50 protection and an operating temperature range of -10°C to +70°C. The MPN is E6C3-AG5B; common replacements include Omron E6C2-CWZ6C 360P/R and E6B2-CWZ6C 360P/R; it is widely used in conveyors, packaging lines, CNC equipment, printing machines, and other industrial applications that require reliable rotational feedback.
