AC Drives for Lift Applications
Does your lift need a new drive?
Our new LA lift drive series is the perfect fit for your application. LA500 and LA700 come with integrated safety features, highest ride comfort and outstanding reliability. Installing our drives to your lift adds sustainability while saving you time and energy.
With Yaskawa, you'll surely have the power to lift 💪
Relaxing in daily use and installation
Enjoy a smooth and comfortable ride of your lift. The excellent motor control of the the LA Series and the integrated brake control sequence guarantee for soft changes in speed and accurate landing.
Highest comfort
Ride profiles with individual jerk setting for each speed change and different selectable acceleration/deceleration ramps allow fine tuning for a smooth and shockless ride.
The accurate leveling control makes floor and cabin ground even under any load condition, thus avoiding dangerous traps.
The flexible brake control sequence optimizes the start and stop for soft movement and accurate landing.
- Adjustable speed profiles with individual jerk settings
- Accurate leveling independent of load
- Short floor management
- Easy to tune brake sequence for smooth ride and best landing
- Evacuation in light direction for smallest possible UPS/battery
Makes life easy
The integrated EMC filter and braking chopper make installation faster, reduce wiring, save space and time. Intuitive menus with lift terminology (terms and units on LC display) simplify the setup procedure. Operate the lift without motor contactors - just make use of the Safe Torque Off function (STO, SIL3). Avoiding additional contactors also reduce the space required, wiring effort and eliminates switching noise.
- Integrated EMC filter with class C2 for EN12015 compliance
- Integrated braking chopper
- Integrated SIL3 STO function for operation without motor contactors
- Flexible control sequence to work with almost any controller
- Setup in lift terminology and units
- Automatic motor data tuning in stand still condition without removing ropes
Sustainable
With it's innovative design the LA Series paves the way to sustainable lift system. Designed with durability in mind, it can stand more than 2.5 million full load starts while components are selected to provide up to 10 years of maintenance-free operation.
The drive's cooling fans are temperature controlled and only run when really required. This avoids pollution by twirling dust inside the panel, improves reliability, and minimizes the need for regular maintenance.
The LA Series is not only reliable, it also helps to make your lift green. The very low stand-by power consumption of only approx. 10 W saves energy and helps to achieve Class 1 rating in terms of efficiency for your elevator (according to ISO 25745-2; max 50 W).
- Long lasting design
- Maintenance free
- Energy saving by super low stand-by consumption
Customer success stories
Don't take our word for it - see for yourself, how our lift knowledge helps out customers all over the world.
Our AC drives for your lift application
Compact in size and flexible in terms of motor type and connectivity, the LA Series is designed to easily master your lift application. We offer two different models of lift drives - and the following features are integrated in both our LA500 and LA700 series VFDs.
Cooling fans run only when needed. Contamination is minimized while service intervals can be prolonged.
The bright LED display and tactile buttons make menu navigation easy and intuitive. The removable keypad can serve as a parameter backup or copy unit.
Menus and parameters are arranged and named as with any other Yaskawa drive, thus reducing training expenses.
Easily connect to your PC or mobile device for programming, monitoring or troubleshooting.
The LA Series can be operated at altitudes of up to 4000 m and in high-temperature environments of up to 60°C. Coated PCBs protect the drive against dust and mist.
10-year maintenance-free design provides hassle-free long term operation.
Easily create long-lasting, reliable connections without the need for re-tightening.
Handle regenerative energy with a minimal number of external parts.
Connect main circuit and motor cables in shortest time without removing any covers.
Easy compliance with global standards and simplified machine design due to a reduced number of parts.
Internal power supply delivers an extra 150 mA for use with external sensors, thus eliminating the need for a separate power supply.
Simplify your wiring and keep your control system operational, even during standby or power outages.
Service life indicators for main components prevent production losses due to sudden breakdowns.
