Servo Motors AZX Series

Product catalog summary
Overview
The AZX Series servo motors are designed for high-speed positioning applications, featuring a battery-free absolute mechanical sensor. They provide high torque in the high-speed range and are compatible with the AZ Series for seamless integration.
Battery-Free Absolute Sensor
The AZX Series includes a mechanical sensor that retains positioning data even when powered off, supporting multi-turn absolute position detection with ±900 rotations from the home position, eliminating the need for external sensors.
Advantages
  • High-speed return-to-home with enhanced accuracy
  • Cost reduction and simplified wiring
  • Unaffected by external sensor failures
  • No need for battery replacement or installation space
  • Safe for international shipping
Network Compatible Drivers
The drivers support EtherCAT and EtherNet/IP, simplifying wiring and reducing labor. They include sequence functions like timer settings and conditional branching to ease programming.
Performance
The AZX Series offers high torque in the high-speed range, ideal for applications with significant travel, such as ball screw driving, and surpasses the AZ Series in high-speed torque.
Product Line
Motors, drivers, and cables are ordered separately. The line includes standard and PS geared types, with options for electromagnetic brakes. Drivers are compatible with EtherCAT and EtherNet/IP.
Specifications
  • Rated Output Power: 400 W, 600 W
  • Rated Speed: 3000 r/min
  • Max Speed: 5500 r/min
  • Rated Torque: 1.27 Nm
  • Maximum Instantaneous Torque: 3.82 Nm
  • Power Supply: Single-Phase/Three-Phase 200-240 VAC
System Configuration
An example setup includes a standard motor with an electromagnetic brake and a network-compatible driver. Support software MEXE02 is available for system setup assistance.
Product Numbering
Product numbers indicate motor type, frame size, output power, shaft type, and other specifications. Drivers and cables have similar numbering systems.
Included Items
Motors come with a parallel key for PS geared types, and drivers include connectors for various ports.
How to Read Specifications
Specifications cover rated output power, speed, torque, inertia, and other critical parameters, aiding in selecting the right motor and driver for applications.
Speed-Torque Characteristics
Graphs show continuous and limited duty regions, rated torque, and maximum instantaneous torque, illustrating the motor's performance capabilities.
Specifications
The document details motor and driver specifications, including cable dimensions, gear ratios, and frame sizes. The motor has a 90 mm frame size and 600 W power output, with various connectors and cables specified for components like the motor, encoder, and electromagnetic brake.
Procedures
Instructions for connecting the motor and driver using specific cable sets are provided, including methods for inserting and removing connectors to avoid damage and guidelines for routing flexible cables.
Standards and Recommendations
Emphasizes using 24 VDC for input signals and maintaining a 200 mm distance between signal and power lines to prevent interference. Recommends shielding cables or using ferrite cores for noise issues.
Connection Diagrams
Diagrams for EtherCAT and EtherNet/IP systems detail connections for current sink and source output circuits, specifying resistors and maximum current values for safe operation.
Cable System Configuration
Describes the cable system configuration, including network communication and power supply cables, with a maximum extension distance of 20 m between motor and driver.
Peripheral Equipment
A regeneration unit is recommended for high regenerative power applications, such as vertical drives or systems with inertial loads, with specifications including 200 W continuous regenerative power and a 50 Ω resistance value.
Notes on Use of Cables
Guidelines for handling and routing cables to prevent damage and ensure reliable connections, advising against bending cables at connectors and recommending cable ties or clamps for securing cables.

Servo Motors AZX Series-1

Servo Motors AZX Series Battery-Free Absolute Mechanical Sensor Equipped Motor Standard Type / PS Geared Type 400 W, 600 W These servo motors are equipped with a battery-free absolute sensor. They are suitable for positioning applications with a large amount of travel, since they achieve high torque in the high speed range. The basic operations are the same as the AZ Series, making combined use in equipment easy. Battery-Free Absolute Sensor Equipped Servo Motor EtherCAT.^" Ethen ’et/IP The AZX Series is equipped with the same battery-free mechanical absolute sensor (ABZO sensor) as the AZ Series. These are dedicated servo motors for positioning and continuous operation. #No External Sensors Required Thanks to the absolute system, a home sensor or external sensor is not required. Advantages • Mechanical-Type Sensor Holds positioning information even when powered off • Multi-Turn Absolute Sensor Absolute position detection is possible with ±900 rotations (1800 rotations) of the motor shaft from the reference home position #For details about the advantages, please see the Oriental Motor website. • High-Speed Return-to-Home + Improved Return-to-Home Accuracy • Reduced Cost • Simple Wiring •Not Affected by External Sensor Malfunctions #Battery-Free No battery is necessary for a mechanical-type sensor. Positioning information is managed mechanically by the ABZO sensor. Advantages • No Battery Replacement Required • No Battery Installation Space Required (Unlimited driver installation possibilities) • Safe for Overseas Shipping Network Compatible Drivers Sequence Function Simplifies Programming* External Device These drivers are EtherCAT and EtherNet/IP-compatible. The host control device and driver are connected with one communication EtherCAT^ Ethen ’et/IP Host Control Device AZX Series positioning operations come with a variety of sequence functions, such as a timer setting between operations and linked operation, conditional branching, and loop counting. These can be set using the support software MEXE02, which helps simplify the host system’s sequence program. *Only EtherNet/IP-compatible drivers. •Positioning Operation Data Setting (Max. 256 points) • General-Purpose I/O Signal Counts (Input 6, output 6) • Communication I/O Signal Counts (Input 16, output 16)
