The AlphaStep AZD (AC Input) Stepper Motor Drivers offers superior high speed performance, high functionality and closed loop control. There are no external sensors to buy as the motor and driver complete the system. Available in 4 types; EtherNet/IP™ compatible driver, stored data (network) driver, pulse input driver or pulse input type with RS-485 communications for monitoring. Advanced operation and function control is included through our MEXE02 software (free download). The AlphaStep AZD (AC Input) Drivers can perform quick positioning operations over a short distance without the need for tuning, while providing smooth performance.
• Built-in Protective Functions
• Emergency Torque Off Function
• Pulse Input, Pulse Input with RS-485 Communications, Built-in Controller (Network) or EtherNet/IP™ Compatible Types
• Single-Phase 100-120 VAC or Single-Phase/Three-Phase 200-240 VAC
• For use with AlphaStep AZ Series Stepper Motors (AC Input)
What is the Output of αSTEP?
"Rated Output" is not listed because AlphaStep has no "rated speed". Refer to the graph below to compare rate torque of the AlphaStep to Watts of of servo motor's rated output torque.
AlphaStep Rated Output
The stopping accuracy of a typical AlphaStep is ±0.05° (under no load), which is equivalent to that of servo motors. The graphs below show the actual measured stopping accuracies when an AlphaStep and an AC servo motor were rotated once.
Oriental Motor has developed and patented a compact, low-cost, battery-free mechanical type absolute sensor. The AlphaStep AZ Series is available at affordable prices and can contribute to improved productivity and cost reductions.
