11-11 Friction Torque Compensation 
Function
You can set the following three types of friction torque compensations to reduce the influence of 
mechanical frictions.
• Unbalanced load compensation: Offsets the constantly applied unbalance torque
• Dynamic friction compensation: Compensates friction that changes its direction in accordance with 
the operating direction.
• Viscous friction compensation: Compensates friction that varies in accordance with velocity.
The friction torque compensation function is enabled under the following conditions.
• Position control or velocity control
• The Servo is ON.
The following table shows the relationship between the control method and enabled compensation 
functions.
 
The friction torque compensation function needs the combined settings of the following four objects.
 
Precautions for Correct Use
If the update selection of the Load Characteristic Estimation is set to 1, the friction torque 
compensation is set automatically. If you want to set the torque compensation manually, set the 
update selection of Load Characteristic Estimation to 0.
