Yaskawa CACR-SR20BB1AF-Y303 Digital Servo Drive

The CACR-SR20BB1AF-Y303 is a 2.0 kW digital AC servo drive from Yaskawa’s classic CACR-SR (VS-800) series, built for CNC machine tools and general industrial automation. It uses internal forced-air cooling and delivers 14.7 A continuous / 35 A peak current. It features a standard incremental encoder interface, AF base firmware, and the Y303 application-specific OEM parameter set—ideal for machines needing pre-tuned, reliable high-precision motion.
