αSTEP AZ Series Hybrid Step-Servo Integrated Solution

Easily Build an Integrated Step-Servo and Driver Solution

The new mounting bracket allows you to attach an AZ Series mini driver (excluding AZD-KR2D) to the side of an AZ Series connector type motor. The driver can be installed near the AZ Series motor to save wiring and space, or it can be installed in the style of an integrated motor/driver.

Driver compatible with DC input type AZ Series Connector type motors only
Use with 42mm or 60mm, connector type round shaft or geared type AZ series motors
*Excludes FC type right angle geared type
0.2m connection cable recommended

How to Assemble an AZ Series Integrated Step-Servo Motor-Driver Solution

*Excluding RS-485 communication type AZD-KR2D

The AZ Series mini Driver works with a variety of αSTEP AZ Series, DC input products. This driver can be controlled by using EtherCAT drive profile, be daisy chained to maximize design and space, and improve installation time. The mini Driver is also designed to be close to the motor, making it ideal for Robotic type applications. The elimination of switches and I/O connectors allows for a compact and lightweight design. The mini Driver utilizes the MEXE02 Support Software, which is available for free download.
