E6C3-CWZ5GH 300P/R 1M Application Field and Working Principle

An encoder is an electromechanical device designed to translate an angular or linear position or motion into a digital, analog, or serial input signal. The encoder E6C3-CWZ5GH 300P/R 1M is a producr of Omron Corporation, targeting for positions where accuracy and operating environments are critical factors. This article will mainly focus on the application field and the working principle of E6C3-CWZ5GH 300P/R 1M.

Application Field

The E6C3-CWZ5GH 300P/R 1M is a rotary-type incremental encoder that can easily be installed to various machines or devices such as industrial robots, production machines, conveyors, computers, and other devices. This device is ideal for various positioning applications where accuracy and durability are the most important factors.

This device is also suitable to be used with external shafts and is designed to reduce backlash and improve the rigidity of the rotary shaft. It is also dustproof and splash-proof, making it suitable even for harsher environments. It is also RoHS compliant which ensures that it does not contain any hazardous materials in its components.

Working Principle

The E6C3-CWZ5GH 300P/R 1M uses a combination of a multi-turn absolute encoder and an incremental encoder which functions concurrently with the absolute encoder. The two together allow the device to have hgih accuracy and stability while measuring the angular position.

The multi-turn absolute encoder is designed to measure the angular position in 360 degree increments. The rotary incremental encoder works together with the multi-turn absolute encoder to measure one-turn angle in high resolutions. The angular position of the device is calculated by analyzing the incremental data from the rotary incremental encoder in correlation with the absolute data from the multi-turn absolute encoder.

The device is also fitted with an impulse output to output incremental pulses, which allows the device to be used for speed measurement, direction control, etc. The device also has various output functions which can be connected to various control units for various control applications.
