# Omron E6B2-CWZ6C Rotary Encoder

> Omron E6B2-CWZ6C is a 40 mm incremental rotary encoder with A, B and Z phases from NPN open-collector outputs (30 V max, 35 mA sink), ordered at 10–2000 P/R (this record: 1000 P/R). It runs on 5–24 VDC at 80 mA max, responds to 100 kHz and 6000 r/min, and has a Ø6 mm shaft (30 N radial / 20 N thrust), IP50, −10 to 70 °C, 3 × M3 on Ø30 mm and 0.5 m pre-wired cable.
