#Stepping motor with battery-free absolute sensor enables accurate positioning Oriental Motor has developed the Î STEP AZ Series of closed-loop stepping motor & Driver packages which contain its patented mechanical absolute sensor the ABZO Sensor. he ABZO Sensor in the motor is able to record the current position of the motor in the sensor itself. So it enables high-precision positioning and homing without a home sensor or a limit sensor. ith the majority of stepping motors a backup battery is needed to store position data and because batteries have limited a life data can't be stored for a long time. But the AZ Series doesn't need a battery so storing data isn't a concern even if the production equipment is stopped for a long time or the unit is shipped overseas. hat is so special about this new product? Firstly it enables you to set up an absolute system without the need for a battery. This feature eliminates the battery replacement cycle for the customer making it possible to achieve a maintenance-free absolute system. y eliminating batteries and external sensors in this way the AZ Series can reduce setup costs electrical connections and footprint. n addition to the current lineup Oriental Motor is planning to release a model with a gearhead. It also intends to develop variations by attaching mechanisms to the motor similar to motorized actuators using the current AZ Series. Ultimately Oriental Motor plans to release these products overseas as well. s
