What to do if Omron Servo Drives show Overload?
- MMary LynnAug 26, 2025
If Omron Servo Drives show an overload, it could be due to a heavy load, excessive effective torque, vibration or hunting from faulty gain adjustment, incorrect or broken Servomotor wiring, a machine hit by an object, distortion, a stuck electromagnetic brake, or incorrect wiring between multiple machines. Check torque waveforms for oscillations. Increase the capacities of the Servo Drive and Servomotor, set longer acceleration and deceleration times, and reduce the load. Readjust the gain. Ensure the Servomotor cable is correctly connected and replace if necessary. Remove any distortion from the machine and reduce the load. Measure the voltage at the brake terminals to turn OFF the brake. Correctly wire the Servomotor and encoder to match the axes.
