Series Overview
Series Overview
E6B2-C is OMRON's classic incremental rotary encoder series, widely used for speed, position and length detection. There is a large inventory of overseas equipment. When purchasing, we often directly search for complete part numbers such as "E6B2-CWZ6C 1000P/R".
Part-number Structure & Selection Notes
The selection needs to confirm the output mode (NPN open collector / PNP / voltage / line driver), power supply, pulse number P/R, shaft diameter and cable length. Even if the appearance is the same, different output types are not interchangeable.

Specifications must be confirmed against the applicable official datasheet and ordering information. Regional variants, suffixes and configurations are not automatically interchangeable.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I confirm the complete part number for E6B2 rotary encoder?
The selection needs to confirm the output mode (NPN open collector / PNP / voltage / line driver), power supply, pulse number P/R, shaft diameter and cable length. Even if the appearance is the same, different output types are not interchangeable.
What are the main differences between E6B2-CWZ6C 1000P/R and E6B2-CWZ5B 1000P/R?
output type: E6B2-CWZ6C 1000P/R is NPN open collector, E6B2-CWZ5B 1000P/R is PNP open collector. Verify the complete ordering code and project conditions before selection or replacement; the series name alone is not sufficient.
Which specifications matter most when selecting E6B2 rotary encoder?
Key specifications to verify are output type, resolution. Match them against the equipment nameplate, drawing or original model, and retain every suffix, option and regional code in the complete ordering reference.
Why is the complete part number required when requesting a quote for E6B2 rotary encoder?
Models within E6B2 rotary encoder may differ in electrical ratings, construction, interfaces or accessories. For example, E6B2-CWZ6C 1000P/R, E6B2-CWZ5B 1000P/R, E6B2-CWZ3E 1000P/R are distinct configurations and cannot be interchanged on the series name alone. Using the complete part number substantially reduces mismatch risk.
Cannot find the complete part number?
