Information About E6F-AB3C-C
The E6F-AB3C-C is part of the Omron E6F series of optical absolute encoders engineered for rotational position detection in control and sequencing equipment. It outputs an absolute 10-bit BCD code, allowing stable position recognition without requiring homing after power cycling. The encoder operates on a 5–12 VDC power supply and supports high-speed rotation up to 5000 rpm for demanding automation environments. With IP65-rated sealing and a radial cable exit using a system connector, it is designed for industrial machinery where durable encoder feedback is required.
Key Features:
-
Absolute Optical Encoder Functionality: Provides direct position output without loss of reference after power interruption.
-
360 Resolution per Rotation: Supports precise rotational feedback with 360 absolute positions.
-
BCD Output Encoding: Outputs absolute position in BCD format for industrial controller compatibility.
-
NPN Open-Collector Output Stage: Suitable for PLC and automation input circuits requiring transistor outputs.
-
5–12 VDC Power Supply Range: Designed for low-voltage encoder and sensor power systems.
-
High-Speed Rotation Capability: Rated for maximum rotation speed up to 5000 rpm.
-
IP65 Industrial Protection Rating: Dust-tight and water-resistant construction for machine environments.
-
Prewired 2 m Cable Connection: Includes factory-installed cable with connector for simplified installation.
The E6F-AB3C-C delivers the reliability and precision required for absolute rotary position feedback in industrial automation systems.
