The Yaskawa CIMR-VA2A0012FAA is a compact vector control drive from the V1000 Series, designed for 200V class three-phase input applications requiring precise speed regulation and reliable torque output in a space-saving footprint. Featuring advanced open-loop vector control with 200% starting torque at 0.5Hz, built-in braking transistor, Safe Torque Off (SIL3/PLe) and automatic energy-saving optimization, this quiet fanless drive delivers industrial-grade precision across heavy-duty (1.5kW) and normal-duty (2.2kW) dual-rated applications. It is ideally suited for small conveyors and belt drive systems, compact HVAC pumps and circulation fans, laboratory automation and test equipment, medical and pharmaceutical machinery, packaging and labeling systems, food processing equipment, textile machinery, and general small motor automation where silent operation is essential, panel space is limited and proven Yaskawa reliability delivers long-term operational value.
Quiet Fanless Operation — Self-cooling design eliminates fan noise and maintenance, making it the ideal choice for laboratory, medical and cleanroom environments where silent drive operation is essential.
Advanced Vector Control — True open-loop vector control with auto-tuning delivers 200% starting torque at 0.5Hz, ensuring smooth acceleration and precise speed regulation for small to medium motor applications under varying load conditions.
Dual-Rated Versatility — Supports both Heavy Duty (1.5kW / 8A) and Normal Duty (2.2kW / 11A) motor ratings in a single compact drive, providing application flexibility and inventory reduction for OEM machine builders.
Integrated Safe Torque Off — SIL3/PLe certified dual-channel STO function eliminates external safety relays and contactors, simplifying machine safety architecture and reducing panel wiring complexity and component cost.
Energy Optimization — Built-in automatic energy-saving control continuously adjusts output voltage to minimize power consumption, achieving up to 30% energy reduction in variable torque applications such as small pumps and circulation fans.
Ultra-Compact Footprint — Side-by-side mounting capability and book-style form factor save up to 30% cabinet space compared to conventional drives, enabling direct machine-mounted installations in tightly packed control panels.
Built-in Braking Transistor — Integrated braking chopper enables rapid motor deceleration and precise positioning without external braking units, reducing component count and installation time for small positioning and indexing applications.
Global Market Ready — Full CE, UL/cUL, RoHS and ISO 13849-1 certification with built-in C3 EMC filter and standard RS485 Modbus RTU ensures plug-and-play compliance and connectivity for OEMs exporting to worldwide markets.
