12-5-3  Troubleshooting Using the Operation State
The Servomotor is 
overheating.
The ambient temperature is too 
high.
Check to see if the ambient 
temperature around the Servo-
motor is over 40°C.
• Lower the ambient tempera-
ture around the Servomotor 
to 40°C or less. (Use a fan or 
air conditioner.)
• Lower the load ratio.
The heat radiation condition for 
the Servomotor is inappropri-
ate.
• Check to see if the specified 
radiation conditions are 
observed.
• For a Servomotor with a 
brake, check the load ratio.
• Improve the radiation condi-
tions.
• Reduce the load.
• Improve ventilation.
The Servomotor is overloaded. Check the torque with the Sys-
mac Studio.
• Decrease the acceleration 
and deceleration rates.
• Lower the speed and check 
the load.
The Servomotor vibrates during 
rotation.
The machine position 
is misaligned.
The coupling of the motor shaft 
and the machine is abnormal.
Check to see if the coupling of 
the Servomotor and the 
machine is misaligned.
• Tighten the coupling again.
• Replace the coupling with a 
coupling that has no loose-
ness.
The host controller gave a 
deceleration stop command.
Check the control ladder pro-
gram in the host controller.
Review the control in the host 
controller.
The gain is wrong. --- Check if manual tuning can 
achieve proper adjustment.
The load inertia is too large. • Check the load inertia.
• Check the Servomotor rota-
tion speed.
• Review the load inertia.
• Replace the Servomotor and 
Servo Drive with proper 
ones.
The power supply was turned 
ON while the encoder 
multi-rotation exceeded the 
limit value.
Check Encoder - Multi-
rotation Data.
Perform the operation within 
the multi-rotation range.
The command value from the 
host controller is not correct.
Check the control ladder pro-
gram and settings in the host 
controller.
Review the control and settings 
in the host controller.
The home position was shifted. • Check the home position of 
the absolute encoder.
• Check whether homing is 
performed normally.
• Adjust the mechanical home 
and home position of the 
absolute encoder.
• Change the setting or input 
signals so that the correct 
home position can be defined 
during homing.
The set values of the Servo 
Drive do not match the 
machine.
Check the settings of gear 
ratio, gain, maximum torque, 
etc.
Adjust the set values so that 
they match the machine.
The Servomotor does 
not stop or is hard to 
stop even if the Servo 
is turned OFF while 
the Servomotor is 
rotating.
The load inertia is too large. • Check the load inertia.
• Check the Servomotor rota-
tion speed.
• Review the load inertia.
• Replace the Servomotor and 
Servo Drive with proper 
ones.
The dynamic brake is disabled. Check if the dynamic brake is 
disabled or broken.
• Enable the dynamic brake, if 
it is disabled.
• Replace the dynamic brake if 
it is broken.
