The αSTEP AZ Series offers closed loop control, substantially reduces heat generation from the motor and by incorporating the newly developed Mechanical Absolute Encoder, absolute-type positioning is available, without battery back-up or external sensors to buy. Advanced operation and function control is also included through our MEXE02 software (free download). The αSTEP AZ Series can perform quick positioning operations over a short distance while providing smooth performance.
Built-in Protective Functions
Emergency Torque Off Function
Pulse Input, Built-in Controller (Stored Data), EtherNet/IP™ or RS-485 Communication Types
Single-Phase 100-120 VAC or Single-Phase/Three-Phase 200-240 VAC
For use with AZ Series Motors (AC Input)
AR Series Closed Loop Stepper Motor Drivers (AC Input)
The αSTEP ARD pulse input drivers substantially reduces heat generation from the stepper motor through the use of high-efficiency technology. In addition to implementing the closed loop control based on Oriental Motor's original αSTEP technology, the ARD drivers also achieves up to 40% less power consumption, low vibration, improved angle accuracy and is capable of driving large inertia loads. There is no hunting or gain tuning.

Pulse Input or Built-in Controller (Stored Data) Types
Single-Phase 100-115, 200-240 VAC or Three-Phase 200-230 VAC
The RKSD is a high performance, energy saving stepper motor driver with a great low price. To achieve constant maximum torque output with low heat generation and save energy, the stepper motor and driver losses have been substantially reduced allowing to be operated for longer hours at high speed, which is not possible with conventional stepper motors and drivers. With simple wiring featuring screw-less connectors and side by side driver mounting, installation is easy and saves space.
