Products
Rotary servo motors
Σ-X (SGMX)The basic rotary motor consists of a rotor that rotates and a stator that supports the rotating part.
Direct drive motors
It is a motor that rotates like a rotary servo motor, and because it drives the control object directly, there is no backlash or loss of the mechanism parts, enabling high-precision control.
Linear motors / Linear sliders
Directly drives the controlled object with linear movement, enabling high-speed lateral movement.
Servo amplifiers
The servo amplifier converts the output so that the motor moves in accordance with the position/speed/torque command from the host.
Machine controllers
Machine controllers use servos and AC drives/inverters to control various devices that perform complex motions with high speed and precision.
AC drives (inverters)
The AC Drive or inverter adjusts the motor's rotational speed efficiently and appropriately. The product lineup includes general-purpose inverters, specific application inverters, system inverters and regenerative energy-saving units.
Industrial robots
MOTOMANYaskawa announced the Japan's first all-electric industrial robot under the brand name MOTOMAN in 1977, and since then we have shipped nearly 500,000 units all over the world.
Collaborative robots
MOTOMANWith the advent of human collaborative robots with built-in safety systems, industrial robots can be placed next to workers.
