Yaskawa CIMR-VA2A0040FAA Compact Vector Inverter Precision Speed Drive

Model:Yaskawa CIMR-VA2A0040FAA

Product Overview

The Yaskawa CIMR-VA2A0040FAA is a high-performance 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 versatile drive delivers industrial-grade precision across heavy-duty (3.7kW) and normal-duty (5.5kW) dual-rated applications. It is ideally suited for industrial conveyors and material handling, HVAC pump and fan systems, machine tool spindles and feed axes, food and beverage processing lines, textile machinery, packaging equipment, air compressors and blowers, and general industrial automation where panel space is limited and proven Yaskawa reliability delivers long-term operational value.

Product Advantages

• 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 under heavy and high-inertia loads across diverse industrial applications.
• Dual-Rated Versatility — Supports both Heavy Duty (3.7kW / 17.5A) and Normal Duty (5.5kW / 24A) motor ratings in a single compact drive, providing application flexibility and inventory reduction for OEM machine builders and system integrators.
• 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 pumps, fans and compressors.
• Space-Saving Design — Side-by-side mounting capability and book-style form factor reduce cabinet footprint by up to 30% compared to conventional drives, ideal for densely packed control panels and machine-mounted installations.
• 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 crane, hoist and positioning applications.
• Dual Motor Compatibility — Single drive platform supports both induction motors (IM) and permanent magnet motors (PM) with auto-tuning for each type, offering flexibility to standardize on one drive series across mixed-motor machine designs.
• 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.
