Yaskawa CACR‑SR15SZ1SD‑Y77

The CACR‑SR15SZ1SD‑Y77 is a 1.5 kW, 200 VAC AC servo drive (SERVOPACK) from Yaskawa’s legacy VS‑800 (CACR‑SR) series. It is a custom OEM variant with Y77‑specific firmware/parameters, designed for machine tools and automation equipment that require serial encoder feedback and special I/O logic. This model is discontinued; only tested used/refurbished units are available for maintenance and replacement.

7. Maintenance

  • Daily: Check LED status, fan operation, and unusual noise/vibration.

  • Monthly: Clean air filters, tighten terminal screws, inspect cables for damage.

  • Annual: Replace fan (if worn), check electrolytic capacitors for bulging/leakage.


8. Compatibility Notes

  • Y77 vs. Y21/Y214: Hardware identical; firmware/parameters are not interchangeable without re‑tuning. Y77 is optimized for high‑speed serial‑encoder machines; Y21/Y214 for older CNC/automation lines.

  • Replacement: Direct drop‑in for original Y77‑configured VS‑800 drives; verify motor encoder type (serial) before replacement.
