Absolute 60-mm-dia. Rotary Encoder
E6F-A
High Accuracy and Durability
for Automatic Equipment
• Stronger shaft and greater durability (120 N in the ra-
dial direction and 50 N in the thrust direction) than
previous E6F Encoders.
• Water- and oil-proof structure (IP65f) for a greater de-
gree of protection against water, oil, and other sub-
stances.
• Wider range of resolutions for even more applications
(series includes models with resolutions up to 1,024).
• Faster response for high-speed control applications
(grey code: 20 kHz).
.
Ordering Information
■Rotary Encoders
Note 1. When ordering, specify the resolution together with the model number (e.g., F6F-AG5C 256).
2. The E6F-AB3C-C connects to the H8PR-8, H8PR-16, or H8PR-24 Rotary Positioner.
3. The E6F-AG5C-C connects to the H8PS-8A or H8PS-8AF Cam Positioner.

Specifications
■Ratings/Characteristics
Note 1. An inrush current of approximately 9 A flows for approximate-
ly 0.5
m s right after the E6F-A is turned ON.
2. Codes are shown in the following table.
3. The maximum electrical response revolution is determined by
the resolution and maximum response frequency as follows:
Maximum electrical response frequency (r/min) = Maximum
response frequency/resolution
 60
This means that the E6F-A will not operate electrically if its
revolution exceeds the maximum electrical response revolu-
tion.

Operation and Installation
■Precautions
•Do not impose voltages exceeding the rated voltage on the E6F-A,
otherwise the E6F-A may be damaged.
•Be sure that the wiring of the E6F-A, including the polarity, is cor-
rect. The E6F-A may be damaged if wired incorrectly.
•Do not short the load of the E6F-A, otherwise the E6F-A may be
damaged.
•Turn OFF the E6F-A while wiring. Wiring while the power supply is
turned ON could result in burning of the output circuit if the output
cable touches the power supply.
•Do not wire power lines or high-tension lines along with the power
supply lines of the E6F-A, otherwise the E6F-A may be damaged
or malfunction.
■Application
Mounting
Mounting Procedure
1. Insert the shaft into the Coupling.
Do not secure the Coupling and the shaft with screws at this
stage.
2. Secure the E6F-A.
Refer to the following table for the maximum insertion lengths of
the shaft into the Coupling.
3. Secure the Coupling.
4. Connect the power and I/O lines.
Turn OFF the E6F-A when connecting the lines.
5. Turn ON the E6F-A and check the output.
Mounting Information
•Be careful not to allow water, oil, or other substances to be sprayed
on the E6F-A.
•The E6F-A consists of high-precision components. Handle the
E6F-A with utmost care and do not drop it, otherwise malfunction-
ing may result.
•When the E6F-A is to be used in reversing, pay utmost attention to
the mounting direction of the E6F-A, and to the direction of incre-
ment and decrement rotation.
•To match phase Z of the E6F-A to the origin of the device to be
connected to the E6F-A, confirm the phase-Z output when con-
necting the device.
•Do not impose an excessive load on the shaft if the shaft is con-
nected to a gear.
•If the E6F-A is mounted with screws, the tightening torque must not
exceed 0.49 N
¼ m.
•When using a Coupling, mount within the following tolerances.
•If the eccentricity or declination value exceeds the tolerance, an
excessive load imposed on the shaft may damage the E6F-A or
shorten the life of the E6F-A.
Adjustments: Reading Output Codes
•When reading the output code of the E6F-AB3C or E6F-AB3C-C,
read the code only after the LSB (20output) has changed.
