Hello to Everyone!
Total newb here and I'm not even sure what type of motor this is.

Encoder.

Motor:

The actuator model is IS-MXM-10-100-200 and documentation from intelligentactuator.com. is not for the exact same model.
Link to operating manual: https://www.iai-robot.co.jp/data_dl/...E3708-13B).pdf
Anyway, it says "The actuator is driven by the AC servo control method" (page 20) so I only assume that this is AC servo. On page 63 the cable diagram is for 4 wires. Mine has 3 wires red, white, and black.
Question 1: What do the signals U, V, and W stand for?
I checked the motor with ohmmeter it shows 0.7 ohms for any pair.
Applying 3 volts DC it rotates for just a tiny fraction each time power is applied to any 2 terminals. To rotate the motor in one direction I found I have to switch pairs as shown in this table.

I want to make the motor run first without worrying about the encoder which is for later.
Question 2: With some modification can I use stepper motor controller to run AC servo motor?
I assume the motor has 100 watts (Operating Manual page 13).
Question 3: What is the correct voltage for this motor?
As this is a home project I'm not willing spend a fortune on commercial controls. I would highly appreciate any help to find a DIY controller. Thank you.
