replacing servo motor help

Greetings to the group.
Seems I had an unfortunate incident last night, crashing my X axis into my column. It hit hard enough to break the encoder cover off of the x axis servo motor [optical encoder.]

Now the motor cycles back and forth and twitches erratically. It is a Minertia Motor by Yaskawa. I've spent hours on their site trying to find info or even a repair facility [even calling their Canadian office]

Anyway it is looking more and more like I'll have to replace the motor.

The company I purchased my CNC kit from, Axxus Technologies, seems to be no longer in business [or I cannot find current contact info.]

How can I decide which replacement servo motor will work with my current system? I only seem to find stepper motors for sale at any cnc kit company I find [on line]

I hate not knowing what I'm doing.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
