Notes on this data
Specs come from Sanyo's listings on the EtherCAT Technology Group and PROFIBUS/PROFINET International product guides (vendor-submitted), plus Sanyo's R page (up to 15% smaller housing, 15% higher max instantaneous torque vs conventional R). Axis count not stated for single-unit models. current_A_cont_max holds the largest amplifier capacity class (Sanyo rates amplifiers by capacity in A, not stated as continuous rms).

Alternatives that meet or exceed these figures
Engineers often come to us with a Sanyo Denki part number and leave with an alternative that is easier to source, quicker to deliver or a better fit for the machine. These 3 series from our supply network are the closest match on published figures.
Kinco's high-performance AC servo drive covering 200 W to 7.5 kW on 220 or 400 V class supplies, with full closed loop, multi-axis synchronisation, vibration suppression and SIL3 STO on selected models.
View series →A higher-power Kinco AC drive for SMH, SMC and SMG motors on 220 or 380 VAC, with Modbus, CANopen and EtherCAT, absolute encoders to 24-bit, an independent 24 VDC control supply and direct brake output.
View FD2S Series AC Servo Drives →Kinco's analogue and step/direction AC servo drive for legacy integrations, 50 W-2 kW for SMH and SMC motors with incremental encoders, configured over RS232.
View series →Figures are the highest published for each series and are not always measured the same way. A higher figure is not automatically a better choice: mounting, duty cycle, feedback, connectors and approvals matter too. An engineer will check the fit against your application before recommending anything.
