LA700-Lift Drive

LA700 - Lift Applications

The Yaskawa LA700 is a dedicated variable frequency drive engineered specifically for elevator and lift systems, delivering smooth ride quality, accurate floor levelling, and reliable motor control for vertical transport applications. Designed for passenger comfort and operational efficiency, the LA700 provides precise speed and torque management—ensuring quiet, stable movement across a wide range of lift configurations.

Its lift-focused architecture integrates advanced ride optimisation, brake control, motor tuning, and regenerative capabilities (Option) to deliver safe and efficient operation in both new installations and retrofit projects. Built to simplify commissioning while enhancing long-term reliability, the LA700 is ideal for modern buildings where comfort, precision, and uptime are essential.

  • Ride comfort optimisation: Smooth acceleration and deceleration reduce vibration and improve passenger experience
  • Precision levelling: Accurate floor stopping improves safety and accessibility
  • Integrated lift control: Dedicated elevator functions simplify setup and reduce commissioning time
  • Energy-efficient operation: Supports regenerative performance (Option) and optimised motor control for reduced energy use
