10.1 Servodrive Inspection and Maintenance
This section describes the basic inspections and maintenance of servomotors and SERVO-
PACKs and the procedures for replacing the battery for absolute encoders.
10.1.1 Servomotor Inspection
For inspection and maintenance of servomotors, follow the simple, daily inspection proce-
dures in the following table.
The AC Servomotors are brushless. Simple, daily inspection is sufficient. The inspection 
and maintenance frequencies in the table are only guidelines. Increase or decrease the fre-
quency to suit the operating conditions and environment.
During inspection and maintenance, do not disassemble the servomotor. If disassembly of the servo-
motor is required, contact your Yaskawa representative.

W power line
10.1.2 SERVOPACK Inspection
For inspection and maintenance of the SERVOPACK, follow the inspection procedures in
