The AZX Series is equipped with the same battery-free mechanical absolute encoder (ABZO sensor) as the AZ Series. These are dedicated servo motors for positioning and continuous operation.
- Mechanical Type Encoder
Holds positioning
information even when powered off
- Multi-Turn Absolute Encoder
Absolute position detection is possible with ±900 rotations (1800 rotations) of the motor shaft from the reference home position
No External Sensors Required
Thanks to the absolute system, a home sensor or external sensor is not required.
Advantages
- High-Speed Return-to-Home + Improved Return-to-Home Acuracy
- Reduced Cost
- Simple Wiring
- Not Affected by External Sensor Malfunctions
Battery Free
No Battery is necessary for a mechanical-type encoder. 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 Oversease Shipping
Network Compatible Drivers
These drivers are EtherCAT or EtherNet/IP-compatible. The host control device and driver are connected with one communication cable, reducing wiring.

Sequence Function Simplifies Programming
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.

Achieves High Torque in the High Speed Range
The AZX Series achieves high torque in the high speed range. It is suitable for positioning applications with a large amount of travel (e.g.: ball screw driving).

The Basic Operations are the Same as the AZ Series
Using the AZX Series and AZ Series together in the same equipment can eliminate the work of operational changes.
