Slider Features
High rigidity and high precision
By using a highly rigid guide, we have achieved a high allowable moment despite the compact size.
High rigidity and high precision guide
The guide uses a THK LM guide.* The thin stainless steel guide can withstand high moment.

Achieves high payload capacity despite its thin design
High allowable moment
It is compact yet has a high moment.
*For EZSM6.
Allowable moment value in rolling direction [N・m]
Model number | Static allowable moment | Dynamic allowable moment |
---|---|---|
EZSM3 | 52.0 | 10.5 |
EZSM4 | 176 | 27.8 |
EZSM6 | 340 | 55.6 |
High speed driving of heavy loads is possible
We have prepared a support tool that can calculate the approximate positioning time for applicable our electric actuator products according to the “model” and “operating conditions.”
Fits easily into compact spaces
This design is ideal for situations with limited space. Its compact structure allows it to fit seamlessly into confined areas without compromising functionality.
Avoiding interference with peripheral devices
You can change the motor mounting in four different directions, enabling flexible adjustment of the cable’s exit direction to fit the installation location. This adaptability ensures optimal setup regardless of spatial constraints.
Fold-back type shortens overall length
The folded type has a maximum overall length 136.4 mm shorter than the straight type, which contributes to space saving in equipment.
Simple dustproof structure
The simple dustproof structure using stainless steel sheet prevents the intrusion of foreign matter and suppresses dust generation.
Prevents intrusion of foreign objects
The simple dustproof structure using a stainless steel sheet prevents foreign matter from entering from the outside.
Dust suppression
The table features a low-dust roller structure that contacts the stainless steel sheet, effectively preventing the creation of wear powder. This design ensures a cleaner operation environment.
Cleanroom compatible products are also available (ISO standard cleanliness class 3)
In addition to the low dust-generating roller structure, the use of low dust-generating clean grease has resulted in a cleanroom compatible model that meets ISO Class 3 standards (equivalent to FED Class 1 standards).
Easy combination of two axes
This is a dedicated mounting bracket that makes it easy to combine two axes.
A dedicated cable holder (sold separately) is also available.
Benefits of using the AZ series
Equipped with a battery-less absolute sensor
Equipped with a small, battery-less mechanical absolute sensor (ABZO sensor), it contributes to improving productivity and reducing costs.
Mechanical sensors retain position information even when power is off
Multi-rotation absolute sensor: The system can detect the absolute position within a range of ±900 rotations (totaling 1800 rotations) of the motor shaft from the reference origin. This capability ensures precise monitoring and control.
No external sensor required
Since it is an absolute system, there is no need for origin and limit sensors.
merit
- High speed return to origin + Improved return to origin accuracy
- Cost reduction
- Reduced wiring
- Not affected by external sensor malfunctions
Battery-less
Mechanical sensors do not require batteries.
Position information is managed mechanically by the ABZO sensor.
merit
- No need to replace batteries
- Free driver installation
- Reliable overseas shipping
Sequence function simplifies main programs
The AZ series includes various sequence functions, such as linked operation, timer settings between tasks, conditional branching, loop operation, and more (with some exceptions). You can set these features using the MEXE02 support software, which simplifies the sequence programming of the upper system.
- Positioning operation data setting value (maximum 256 points)
- General-purpose input/output points (10 inputs, 6 outputs)
- Number of communication inputs/outputs (16 inputs, 16 outputs)
Functions that help collect data on motor operation status and perform preventive and predictive maintenance
It is equipped with a wide range of monitor functions for checking the operating status of the motor, etc.
By using the appropriate functions according to the situation, it can be useful for shortening the start-up and adjustment time of the device, as well as for maintenance and preservation.
Monitor function that visualizes the motor operation status and is useful for data collection
The ABZO sensor installed in the AZ series allows you to monitor the motor’s operating status numerically.
[Monitoring using the support software MEXE02]
In addition, the type with built-in positioning function can collect data at a higher level master via an FA network.
Information functions useful for preventive and predictive maintenance
By setting a desired value for each information monitor item, a signal can be output to an external device when that value is reached.
By importing this information into a higher-level device, it can be used to detect problems early and adjust the maintenance schedule for the product.
Information function example
TRIP Information
The desired output speed is set in advance, and the output will occur when that speed is reached (the motor will continue to operate).
Temperature Information
The desired output temperature is set in advance, and the output will start when the temperature is reached (the motor will continue to operate).
Unified wiring, control and maintenance parts
We offer a variety of mechanical products equipped with the αSTEP AZ series.
As they are equipped with the same motor and driver, wiring, control, and maintenance parts can be unified.
Unification of wiring
The wiring for the motor cable, input/output signals, power supply, etc. is the same.
Unified controllability
The control method is the same, so it can be used in the same way. In the case of network control, the remote I/O and command codes are the same. This saves the effort of creating programs.
Standardization of maintenance parts
The number of maintenance parts can be kept to a minimum because the motor, driver, and cable are common, which is expected to reduce management costs (parts costs, management space).
