*1 The indicated value is the specification value of manufacturer. When the linear encoder is used with MELSERVO-J5 series servo
amplifiers, the lower value of either the indicated value or the rated speed of the servo motor is applied to the specification value.
*2 The indicated value is the specification value of manufacturer. The encoder cable length between the linear encoder and the servo
amplifier is maximum 30 m.
*3 Select a linear encoder within the range.
*4 When using a linear encoder of A/B/Z-phase differential output method, use an MR-J5-_-RJ.
