Gravity Compensation
When the Servomotor is used with a vertical axis, gravity compensation prevents the moving
part from falling due to the machine’s own weight when the brake is released.
SERVOPACKs with software version 0023 or higher support gravity compensation.
A timing chart for when the moving part is raised then lowered is provided below.
Refer to the following section for details on brake operation timing.
