Overview
The Yaskawa CACR-SR03SZ1SS is a compact AC servo amplifier of the proven SR series and was developed for small axis applications in the power range of approx. 300 W. The SR Servopacks have always been considered robust, durable, and service-friendly amplifiers for older machines, including machine tools, handling units, and automation systems.
Overview
- Device category: AC Servo Amplifier (Speed Control Type)
- Series/Class: CACR-SR (older Yaskawa generation)
- Design: compact cabinet installation, robust power stage, analog control
Model Designation
- CACR = Yaskawa AC Servo Drive / Servopack
- SR = SR Series (predecessor series of the Sigma Drives)
- 03 = Power class approx. 0.3 kW (300 W motor)
- S = Control type: Speed Control Type (analog ±10 V speed reference)
- Z = Special function or software variant (special option within the SR series)
- 1 = Supply 200 V class (single/three-phase 200–230 V AC)
- SS = Special OEM or custom version, customized parameterization / deviating I/O logic possible

Alarms & Troubleshooting
(corresponds to the SR series, identical to the table in the adopted SR manual)
Alarms & Troubleshooting
| Code | Description | Typical Finding | Check | Remedy |
|---|
| 1 | Over-current | Short circuit motor/power stage, defective transistors, incorrect wiring | Check U/V/W and motor, insulation measurement | Repair power section / check motor |
| 2 | Circuit protector tripped | Mains protection device triggered | Check MCCB/fuse | Eliminate cause, switch on properly |
| 3 | Regenerative trouble | Braking resistor missing/interrupted, chopper defective | Check RB terminals, measure resistance value | Connect resistor correctly / repair chopper |
| 4 | Over-voltage | DC link overloaded (mains too high, strong braking) | Check mains voltage / mechanical load | Stabilize mains, adjust braking ramps |
| 5 | Overspeed | Too high reference voltage, encoder error | Check setpoint ±10 V, check encoder cable | Adjust reference signal, check encoder |
| 6 | Voltage drop | Undervoltage in the main circuit | Measure mains voltage under load | Stabilize supply, check supply lines |
| 7 | Overload | Continuous overload / too high current consumption | Check load profile | Reduce load, check axis mechanics |
| 8 | Heat sink overheat | Heat sink overheated, cabinet too warm | Check temperature, airflow, contamination | Improve cooling, perform cleaning |
Typical Applications
- Feed and positioning axes of small machine tools
- Handling and transfer axes in older industrial cells
- Woodworking machines, packaging machines, assembly systems
- Retrofit areas where 300 W SR motors continue to be used
Service Notes
- Regular cleaning of the heat sink and cabinet air paths
- Check connectors and terminals for tight fit
- Measure motor insulation values separately from the amplifier
- Periodically check braking resistor
- Back up parameters, especially for OEM special versions like 'SS'
Repair Description
- Input check: Visual inspection, measurement of motor and mains side, control of the feedback line.
- Disassembly & Cleaning: Open device, remove dust and oil, expose heat sink.
- Analysis: Check power stage (transistors), rectifier, DC link, control board, and regeneration path.
- Repair: Replacement of damaged components, rework of critical solder joints, checking and replacement of worn capacitors.
- Testing & Load Test: Function test with reference motor, verification of alarm functions, and measurement of temperature development.
- Long-term Test & Conclusion: Continuous operation under load, creation of a test report, and handover to the customer.
