Connector Type

The one motor and driver cable includes the power line to the motor, signal line, electromagnetic brake line (brake motor type) and the ground wire for easy motor connection with no separate connection required for extension cables.

One cable locking connector allows for a maximum of 10 m (32.8 ft.) between the motor and driver with the same motor performance specifications as our standard AZ Series.

Direct Connect

Degree of Protection IP66

With the degree of protection IP66, it is highly dustproof and can be used in environments where it may be exposed to water droplets.

IP66 Rated Motors

A Lock Lever Connector is Used To Ensure Connection

Connecting the cable is easy due to the lock lever that does not require screws.
