E6C3-CWZ3XH 800P/R 1M

Encoders are electric rotary sensing devices used in the automation industry to monitor motion and count position. They come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, so being able to identify them is an important part of selecting the right product for the desired application. E6C3-CWZ3XH 800P/R 1M falls under the encoder family and is the ideal solution for many applications.

The E6C3-CWZ3XH 800P/R 1M is an absolute rotary encoder with a resolution of 1 pulse per revolution (P/R). This means that it has 800 P/R counts over a single rotation. It has two power input options: 5V-DC or 12-24V-DC. It is also designed for industrial and commercial use with a response speed of up to 200 Hz or 12,000 RPM, making it suitable for high speed applications.

The E6C3-CWZ3XH encoder also features a TTL type output making it a good choice for motion control feedback and motion feedback applications. The two output pins used are A and B, which alternate in the output as the encoder shaft is rotated. The output of the encoder is usually connected to either a PLC or an inverter to record motion and position.

The working principle of the E6C3-CWZ3XH encoder is based on a method called optical encoding or optical scanning. This is achieved by using a scanning disc which contains a set pattern of discrete marks. As the encoder shaft is rotated, the scanning head moves across the map and reads the pattern. The mark recognition is detected as switchings of the output pins A and B.

There are many applications where the E6C3-CWZ3XH 800P/R 1M encoder can be used. It is commonly used for motion feedback in computer numerical control (CNC) machines, robotics and servo motor applications. It is also used for monitoring rotational speed in industrial plants such as paper mills, printing presses, and motors. It is also suitable for measuring linear distances in conveyor belts, elevators, or escalators.

The E6C3-CWZ3XH 800P/R 1M encoder is a reliable and cost effective solution for many applications. It is designed for quick installation and operation, and with its high speed response, it is able to precisely monitor motion and position in even the most demanding environments.
