Yamaha YSM40 motor
Product Introduction – Yamaha YSM40 Motor Assembly (Servo/Stepper
Motor)
The YSM40 motor assembly refers to the high-performance servo
motors used in the Yamaha YSM40 pick-and-place system, essential
for driving axes such as X (gantry), Y (stage), Z (head
pickup/lift), and rotary indexing. These motors deliver the speed,
precision, and synchronization required for ultra-high-speed SMT
production.
Key Features
High-torque servo motors with fast acceleration—supporting
placement speeds up to 200,000 CPH when paired with RS heads
([Yamaha Motor Global Site]
Precision motion control with positioning repeatability of ±25 μm
(25 μm sigma)&x20;
Optimized for dual- or quad-head operations, enabling simultaneous
pickup and placement
Built-in laser position feedback or encoder systems for accurate
PCB and component positioning
Designed for minimal impact shock to sensitive components, thanks
to Yamaha’s lightweight X-beam and head designs
Performance & Integration
Motors enable extremely fast, high-density 4-beam, 4-head
configurations while maintaining a compact machine footprint
([Yamaha Motor Global Site][1])
Fully integrated into Yamaha’s motion control platform, ensuring
synchronized coordination with ZS feeders, rotary/multi (MU/RS/FL)
heads, and vision systems
Supports continuous operation with real-time nozzle/feeder
diagnostics and auto-recovery, reducing downtime , [Yamaha Motor
Global Site][1])
Technical Highlights
Servo and axis coordination allow simultaneous control of multiple
motions within a 1-meter-wide frame ([Yamaha Motor Global Site][1])
Integrated with Yamaha’s proprietary RS (Revolutionary Speed), MU
(Multi-Function), and FL (Flexible) heads—motors drive both rotary
arms and linear axes
Designed for high duty-cycle SMT lines, with specs built to sustain
~96% uptime
Typical Applications
High-mix, high-volume SMT production, electronics assembly
requiring rapid and accurate placement
PCB sizes ranging from 50 × 50 mm up to 700 × 460 mm ([Yamaha Motor
Global Site][1],
Component size coverage from 0201 μm chips up to 45 × 100 mm

Related Accessories – Yamaha YSM40 Motor Assembly
1. Motor Encoder Unit
Provides real-time feedback of motor position and speed for precise
motion control. Essential for closed-loop operation.
2. Motor Driver Module
Controls the power, direction, and torque of the servo or stepper
motor. Communicates with the main controller.
3. Timing Belt / Drive Belt
Transfers motion from the motor shaft to the linear stage or head
using precision-matched rubber belts with teeth.
4. Pulley Set
Mounted on the motor shaft and used with timing belts. Ensures
synchronized rotation with minimal slip.
5. Z-axis Linear Rail Assembly
Works with the Z-axis motor to guide the vertical movement of the
nozzle head. Ensures smooth and accurate linear motion.
6. Cooling Fan / Heat Sink
Dissipates heat from the motor and driver module. Helps prevent
overheating during long production runs.
7. Motor Mounting Bracket
Secures the motor to the frame or moving gantry. Precision-machined
to prevent misalignment or vibration.
8. Motor Signal Cable / Encoder Cable
Transmits control signals between the motor and the
controller/driver. Includes power and position feedback lines.
9. Z-axis Spring / Shock Absorber
Protects the Z-axis and components from impact during downward
motion. Reduces wear on the motor and nozzle.
10. Head Rotation Gear Set
Connects the R-axis motor to the rotating nozzle head. Converts
motor torque into controlled angular motion.
Note:
Accessory types may vary depending on the placement head model (RS,
MU, FL, etc.)
Original Yamaha parts are recommended to ensure full compatibility
and machine safety.

FAQ Guide – Yamaha YSM40 Motor System
1. What motors are used in the Yamaha YSM40?
The YSM40 uses high-speed servo motors on the X, Y, Z, and R axes.
These motors are specifically designed for ultra-high-speed
pick-and-place operations with precision control and feedback.
2. What does each motor control?
X-axis motor – Moves the gantry side-to-side
Y-axis motor – Controls the back-and-forth movement of the head
Z-axis motor – Controls vertical nozzle motion
