Q.Does αSTEP or stepper motor have a phase Z signal?
It is available in some series. Refer to the table below.
Product Line | Series | |
---|---|---|
αSTEP | AZ Series (AC input/DC input) | |
Stepper Motors | 5-phase | RKII Series (AC input)* |
PKP Series (DC input)* | ||
2-phase | PKP Series (DC input)* |
- *Available only with encoder
Please note that if you are using series other than these, we recommend detection methods using slotted discs and photomicrosensors. Choosing the double shaft type and attaching it as shown in the photo makes it possible to detect 1 pulse per motor revolution, similar to the Z phase.
