The CACR-02-TE1K is listed as a Yaskawa AC servo drive, and one technical listing specifies 1-phase 200–230VAC input with 3-phase 0–230VAC output and a 0–400Hz output range.
Product Introduction
The Yaskawa CACR-02-TE1K is a legacy AC ServoPack designed to control Yaskawa servo motors in industrial motion systems. Unlike a general-purpose VFD, a servo amplifier operates as part of a closed-loop motion system, using motor feedback and command signals to regulate motor behavior for applications requiring controlled speed, torque, or position.
The Yaskawa CACR-02-TE1K is particularly relevant when maintaining older machinery where replacing the complete servo system would require changes to the motor, feedback wiring, controller interface, and machine software. Available records identify it as a Yaskawa servo drive, with 200–230VAC single-phase input.

Application Scenarios & Field Pitfalls — Engineer’s Perspective
The CACR-02-TE1K can be encountered in machine tools, semiconductor equipment, robotics, packaging machinery, printing equipment, and other legacy motion-control systems. Its value in maintenance is mainly as a like-for-like replacement for an existing Yaskawa servo axis where the original amplifier, motor, feedback system, and controller have already been engineered together.
The critical point is that servo-drive compatibility is system-specific. A drive with the same input voltage is not necessarily a suitable replacement.
Before installation, verify:
- Motor model: Confirm the exact Yaskawa servo motor connected to the amplifier.
- Feedback type: Check encoder/resolver or other feedback requirements against the original system.
- Power rating: Do not select the replacement from “CACR-02” alone. The available sources disagree on the exact motor power rating, so the nameplate should take precedence.
- Command interface: Confirm how the machine controller sends speed, torque, or position commands.
- Control wiring: Compare every control and feedback connector with the existing amplifier.
- Gain parameters: Preserve the original servo tuning parameters before replacing the drive.
- Motor brake: If the motor has a holding brake, verify the brake supply and control circuit independently.
- Mechanical load: After replacement, perform a controlled low-speed test before returning the axis to production.
Important Identification Warning
Do not confuse the with a modern Yaskawa Sigma-series servo amplifier. It belongs to an older CACR hardware family, and modern drive families can use different feedback interfaces, parameter structures, motor identification methods, and controller communications.
Also, some commercial descriptions advertise position, velocity, torque control, electronic gearing, and camming without providing a primary manual for this exact suffix. Those functions should therefore be confirmed against the installed machine documentation rather than assumed.

Procurement note: For a replacement, specify + exact motor model + feedback type + machine/controller interface. The input voltage alone is not enough to establish servo-system compatibility.
