Enhancing Compressor Performance and Longevity with Yaskawa GA800 VFDs

A global supplier of industrial compressors partnered with Yaskawa to improve the performance, serviceability, and durability of their Oil-Injected Rotary Screw Compressors. These compressors, essential for industries like automotive, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and more, require reliable air distribution under harsh environmental conditions.

Yaskawa’s GA800 Industrial Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) were selected for their ability to optimize energy efficiency, extend equipment life, and simplify maintenance. The GA800 VFDs ensure precise speed control, reducing energy consumption and minimizing wear on compressor components. Their advanced features, such as easy heatsink fan replacement and preloaded settings for quick field programming, make them ideal for demanding applications.

The collaboration included rigorous testing, design reviews, and feedback from the customer’s field team, resulting in a robust solution tailored to the customer’s needs. Yaskawa’s innovative designs, including flange-style enclosures to prevent contamination, ensure reliable operation even in dirty, hot, or outdoor environments.

At Cross Company, we’re proud to partner with Yaskawa to deliver precision motion systems like these.
