Notes
- Elevator (lift) applications — most relevant for the elevator parts trade:
- LA700: new-generation lift drive, recommended for new installations (replaces L1000A);
- ES700: elevator dedicated drive for the China market;
- L1000A: previous generation, still widely used for modernization and spare parts;
- LA500: micro drive for geared lifts (open loop).
- General-purpose drives (GA500 / GA700 / GA800) are also frequently used in elevator traction and machine-room applications.
- ‘Legacy’ series (A1000, V1000, U1000, H1000, E1000, D1000, Z1000, P1000, L1000A) are no longer the default choice for new designs in some regions, but remain on sale for replacement, spare parts and modernization projects.

About the Yaskawa AC drive and elevator spare parts
To order yaskawa elevator and escalator parts, send the exact model or reference code printed on the original component to [email protected]. Please quote the complete code including any suffix so that our team can confirm the correct variant, current stock and lead time before you commit.
Yaskawa AC drive series we supply
Elevator and escalator control systems are built around a relatively small number of serviceable assemblies: the drive and motion controller, the main control or mother board, the power stage, the encoder feedback interface, and the door or brake control module. We stock yaskawa parts that fail most often in daily service, including drive boards, mother boards, encoders, door operators and brake modules. Each carries its own set of reference numbers depending on the original equipment manufacturer and the revision of the installation.
All yaskawa parts we supply are inspected before dispatch. Boards are checked for physical damage, capacitor condition and connector integrity, and are packed to survive international transit. Where a superseded revision is the only one available, we state that clearly and explain the substitution so that the installing engineer can make an informed decision.
Yaskawa AC drive buying guidance and compatibility
Before ordering yaskawa elevator and escalator parts, confirm three things. First, the exact part number and revision from the failed unit. Second, the equipment model and controller family it was installed in, since the same board can be used across several product lines. Third, whether the installation is a traction lift or an escalator, as the duty cycle and current rating differ between the two.
If you are unsure which revision of the yaskawa you need, send a photograph of the nameplate and the existing board alongside the fault description. That is usually enough for our team to identify the correct replacement without a site visit, and it avoids the cost and delay of returning an incompatible part. We are also happy to advise on the other serviceable assemblies in the same controller, so that a planned shutdown can cover several wear items at once.
