Yaskawa servo systems hold over 30% of the global servo motor market — the largest share of any manufacturer worldwide. Flextech Industrial brings this proven motion technology to Malaysian machine builders, system integrators, and manufacturers with genuine Sigma-7 servo motors, GA500 and GA700 drives, and the sizing support you need to specify the right system for your application.
Yaskawa Sigma-7 Servo: The Global Standard for Precision Motion
Yaskawa Sigma-7 servo motors and amplifiers deliver the positioning accuracy, speed response, and reliability that demanding manufacturing applications require. From 50-watt miniature actuators to 55-kilowatt high-torque drives, the Sigma-7 range covers virtually every industrial motion need — and does so with a 24-bit absolute encoder that resolves 16.7 million positions per revolution.
Sigma-7 Performance Specifications
Yaskawa Sigma-7 servo systems achieve the motion performance metrics that Malaysian manufacturers in semiconductor, packaging, and precision assembly depend on:
- Power range: 50 W – 55 kW
- Encoder resolution: 24-bit absolute (16,777,216 pulses per revolution)
- Communication: MECHATROLINK-III, EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP (model-dependent)
- Auto-tuning: Advanced vibration suppression with automatic gain adjustment
- Safety: Safe Torque Off (STO) built-in — IEC 61508 SIL2 / IEC 62061 SIL CL3
- Price range: RM 3,000 – RM 25,000 (motor + amplifier set)
That 24-bit encoder — 16.7 million pulses per revolution — translates to positioning resolution measured in fractions of a micron on ball screw-driven axes. Semiconductor wire bonding, pharmaceutical filling, and precision dispensing applications all benefit from this level of positioning accuracy.
Multi-Protocol Flexibility: Works with Any PLC Brand
Yaskawa Sigma-7 servo amplifiers communicate through MECHATROLINK-III, EtherCAT, or EtherNet/IP depending on the model variant selected. This multi-protocol approach means Sigma-7 servos integrate with Omron NX/NJ controllers (EtherCAT), Allen-Bradley CompactLogix (EtherNet/IP), or dedicated Yaskawa motion controllers (MECHATROLINK-III).
For system integrators in Malaysia who work across multiple PLC brands, Yaskawa’s protocol flexibility eliminates the need to stock brand-specific servo systems for each project. One servo platform serves every controller ecosystem.
Vibration Suppression and Auto-Tuning
Yaskawa Sigma-7 amplifiers include advanced vibration suppression algorithms that automatically detect and dampen mechanical resonance in the machine structure. The auto-tuning function adjusts servo gains to match the load inertia — reducing commissioning time from hours of manual tuning to minutes of automated optimization.
For machine builders shipping equipment to factories across Malaysia and Southeast Asia, Yaskawa’s auto-tuning simplifies commissioning at the customer site where environmental conditions and installation quality vary.
Yaskawa GA500 and GA700: Variable Frequency Drives for Every Application
Yaskawa complements its servo motor leadership with GA500 and GA700 variable frequency drives for general motor speed control applications — pumps, fans, conveyors, mixers, and process machinery.
GA500: Compact Multi-Purpose VFD
Yaskawa GA500 drives control induction and PM motors from 0.1 kW to 30 kW with multiple communication protocol support built into every unit. The compact housing and DIN rail mounting option make the GA500 practical for panel-dense machine installations.
- Power range: 0.1 – 30 kW
- Motor types: Induction (IM), permanent magnet (PM)
- Communication: EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP/RTU, DeviceNet, PROFINET (via option card)
- Features: Built-in EMC filter, Safe Torque Off (STO)
- Price range: RM 1,500 – RM 10,000
Yaskawa GA500 drives stand out in multi-brand Malaysian factory environments because of their protocol versatility; one drive model communicates with Siemens, Allen-Bradley, Omron, or Mitsubishi PLCs without hardware changes — just parameter configuration.
GA700: High-Performance Process Drives
Yaskawa GA700 drives address higher-performance requirements — tighter speed regulation, faster dynamic response, and broader power range for heavy industrial applications. Enhanced vector control and autotuning functions suit applications where load characteristics change during operation, such as winding, extruding, and crane operations.
Yaskawa drives carry the same commitment to reliability that built the company’s servo motor reputation. In Malaysia, Yaskawa VFDs serve water treatment plants, palm oil processing facilities, and automotive manufacturing lines where drive failure means production stops.

Why Source Yaskawa from Flextech Industrial
Yaskawa products reach Malaysian customers through direct distribution and multi-brand suppliers. Flextech Industrial provides advantages that matter for servo and drive procurement.
Servo sizing support: Selecting the right Yaskawa Sigma-7 model involves calculating load torque, acceleration torque, inertia ratio, and duty cycle. Flextech engineers assist with servo sizing — matching motor power, speed, and inertia characteristics to your mechanical design. This technical support prevents over-sizing (wasted budget) and under-sizing (premature failure).
Multi-brand project convenience: Many Malaysian automation projects pair Yaskawa servos with a PLC from another brand — Omron NX1P2 with EtherCAT, Allen-Bradley CompactLogix with EtherNet/IP, or Siemens S7-1500 via gateway. Flextech carries all these controller brands alongside Yaskawa, consolidating your procurement into one supplier.
Competitive MYR pricing: Our multi-brand sourcing model generates pricing advantages on Yaskawa components. Every unit ships as genuine OEM with original manufacturer warranty and documentation.
