Since 1915, Yaskawa Electric has served the world needs for motion and control products; including Servo Drives and Motors, AC Drives and Motors, Linear Motion, Robotics, Controllers, and Network Control.

Motion Control
Yaskawa's compact servos and machine controllers are literally at the heart of automation in applications ranging from packaging machines to office printers. The AC servo systems for motion control provide Yaskawa customers with the benefits of high quality and reliability, reduced machine setup time, open architecture for simple machine upgrades, and faster, smoother response in machines. Yaskawa's line of machine tool spindle drives and motors offer both high speed and high performance.
AC Drives
Covering 0.125HP to 1,000+ HP and from general purpose variable frequency to flux vector control, Yaskawa offers the most reliable line of inverter drives in the industry. Our family of drives is ideal for applications ranging from fans, pumps, conveyors, cranes, extruders and winders to complete steel processing, papermaking/coating and textile systems.

Japanese-American Customer Support


This group provides support and engineering services to United States facilities of Japanese companies. All forms of support are available for all Yaskawa products, available globally or domestically.
Switch Products
Yaskawa's switch products establish a new standard of reliability and superior switching. These products include a wide range of switches from low to medium voltage (1V to 38,000V), for applications ranging from the industrial control industry to the power distribution industry. BestactTM (Best-Contact) industrial controls provide excellent performance for the low voltage arena with near universal switching capability. The medium voltage products offer an ultra-compact, rotary-arc design for a surgeless, maintenance-free switching performance that none can exceed.
Robotics
Established in 1989, Motoman Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Yaskawa Electric America, Inc., has grown to become one of the top three largest robotic companies in North and South America.
Headquartered in West Carrollton, Ohio, Motoman offers a wide range of robots from customized solutions to pre-engineered, off-the-shelf products. Robots suitable for small part handling and assembly to high-speed models needed to meet a variety of payload requirements are available.
