MELSERVO-J4 1-Axis Servo Amplifier for 0.2 kW Motors
The Mitsubishi MR-J4-20A is a 1-axis servo amplifier from the MELSERVO-J4 series, sized for a 0.2 kW servo motor (0.2 A rated current) on a 200 V class supply — single-phase 200–240 V AC or three-phase 170 V AC, 50/60 Hz. Control is sinusoidal-wave PWM with current control; speed, torque, and position are set via parameter or external analog input (DC 0–±10 V for speed, DC 0–+10 V for torque). Built-in dynamic brake (Note 4) and a Safe Torque Off (STO) function per IEC/EN 61800-5-2 are standard — STO response is 8 ms or less from input off to energy cut-off.
The 0.2 kW motor rating and 0.2 A rated current define the load envelope: this amplifier drives a small servo motor — think indexing tables, pick-and-place axes, or tensioning spindles that need precise speed and torque control at low power. Speed control range is 1:2000 on analog command, 1:5000 on internal command, with speed variation of ±0.01% or less under load change (0–100%) — tight enough for most positioning tasks in packaging or assembly cells. Protective functions cover over-current, regenerative overvoltage, overload (electronic thermal), motor overheat, encoder error, undervoltage, instantaneous power failure, overspeed, and excessive error (±3 rotations) — comprehensive fault coverage for a single-axis drive.
Operates indoors (no direct sunlight, no corrosive gas, flammable gas, oil mist, dust or dirt) at 0–55 °C ambient, 90% RH non-condensing, elevation up to 2000 m — standard industrial cabinet conditions. Communication is via USB for PC connection (MR Configurator2) and RS-422/485 for multi-axis networking (up to 32 axes). Full-closed control uses 2-wire communication method (Note 9). Analog monitor outputs (2 channels) and encoder ABZ-phase pulse output are available for external monitoring or position feedback.
International standards compliance is noted (overseas compliance per Note 27), though specific certification marks (UL, CE, UKCA) are not enumerated in the standard spec record — verify per your jurisdiction's requirements.
