2.2.4
Servomotor Overload Protection Characteristics
The overload detection level is set for hot start conditions with a Servomotor ambient tempera-
ture of 40°C.
Note: The above overload protection characteristics do not mean that you can perform continuous duty operation
with an output of 100% or higher.
Use the Servomotor so that the effective torque remains within the continuous duty zone given in 2.2.3
Torque-Motor Speed Characteristics on page 2-5.
2.2.5
Servomotor Heat Dissipation Conditions
The Servomotor ratings are the continuous allowable values at an ambient temperature of 40°C
when a heat sink is installed on the Servomotor. If the Servomotor is mounted on a small device
component, the Servomotor temperature may rise considerably because the surface for heat
dissipation becomes smaller. Refer to the following graphs for the relation between the heat
sink size and derating rate.
Note: The derating rates are applicable only when the average motor speed is less than or equal to the rated motor
speed. If the average motor speed exceeds the rated motor speed, consult with your Yaskawa representa-
tive.

Detection time (s)
The actual temperature rise depends on how the heat sink (i.e., the Servomotor mounting sec-
tion) is attached to the installation surface, what material is used for the Servomotor mounting
section, and the motor speed. Always check the Servomotor temperature with the actual equip-
ment.
