αSTEP AZ Series – Hybrid Stepper with Mechanical Multiturn Encoder
Battery-free absolute positioning up to ±900 (or ±1,800) revolutions thanks to the integrated mechanical multiturn encoder (ABZO). Operates in open-loop mode for smooth, vibration-free motion; automatically switches to closed-loop under load for reliable positioning without step loss. Available in frame sizes from 20 mm to 90 mm and compatible with spur, planetary, Harmonic Drive®, or rack-and-pinion gearheads. Offers comprehensive control and diagnostic functions; easy integration via fieldbus (EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, Modbus RTU) or through digital I/Os or pulse-direction signals. Ideal for compact, maintenance-free automation solutions requiring high precision.
