5.2 Digital Torque Amplifier Inspection
Digital torque amplifier inspection is summarized in the table below. Although there is no
need for daily inspection, perform inspections at least once per year.
■ Component Replacement Timeline
The components in the table below are subject to mechanical wear or degradation over
time. Inspect these periodically for purposes of preventative maintenance.
Digital torque amplifiers overhauled by Yaskawa are shipped with their system switches
returned to their factory default settings. Be sure to verify these switches before
operating.
■ Use Conditions
• Ambient Temperature: Yearly average 30 ° C
• Load Ratio: 80% or less
• Operation Rate: 20 hours or less per day
