The Yaskawa CIMR-VA2A0072FAA is a high-performance compact vector control drive from the renowned V1000 Series, designed for 200V class three-phase input applications requiring exceptional torque performance and energy efficiency in a space-saving package. 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 drive delivers industrial-grade precision across heavy-duty (7.5kW) and normal-duty (11kW) dual-rated applications. It is ideally suited for HVAC pump and fan systems, industrial conveyors and material handling, water and wastewater treatment, machine tool spindles and feed axes, food and beverage processing lines, textile machinery, compressor control, and general industrial automation where cabinet space is limited, energy costs are critical and Yaskawa’s proven reliability delivers long-term operational value.
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 even under heavy and high-inertia loads.
Dual-Rated Flexibility — Supports both Heavy Duty (7.5kW / 31A) and Normal Duty (11kW / 43A) motor ratings in a single drive model, reducing inventory and providing application flexibility for OEM machine builders.
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 and fans.
Integrated Safe Torque Off — SIL3/PLe certified dual-channel STO function eliminates external safety relays and contactors, simplifying machine safety design and reducing panel cost and wiring complexity.
Ultra-Compact Footprint — Side-by-side mounting capability and book-style form factor save up to 30% cabinet space 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 and hoist applications.
Dual Motor Technology — Single drive supports both induction motors (IM) and permanent magnet motors (PM) with auto-tuning for each type, offering flexibility to standardize on one drive platform across mixed-motor machine designs.
Global Compliance 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.
