Description
The Reliance Electric (Electro-Craft) Y-3023-2-H00AA is a high-performance Brushless AC Servo Motor from the S-Series (or Y-Series) family. These motors were widely used in precision motion control applications before the Reliance Electric brand was integrated into Rockwell Automation (Allen-Bradley).

Country of Origin
This motor was engineered and manufactured in the USA by Reliance Electric / Electro-Craft.
Application Fields
The Y-3023-2-H00AA is designed for high-dynamic response in automated systems:
- Packaging Machinery: High-speed labeling, capping, and pouch-filling systems.
- CNC Machining: Driving axes in small-to-midsize milling and routing machines.
- Material Handling: Precision pick-and-place robots and automated sorters.
- Textile Industry: Controlling tension and feed rates in weaving and knitting looms.
- Printing Presses: Register control and paper feed synchronization.
Product Usage Instructions
- Mounting: Ensure the mounting face is clean and the shaft is perfectly aligned with the load. Use a flexible coupling to prevent excessive radial or axial loads on the motor bearings.
- Wiring: The motor features separate connectors for power (Stator) and feedback (Encoder). Use shielded cables for both, ensuring the shields are grounded at the drive end to prevent electrical noise.
- Drive Compatibility: This motor is commonly paired with Reliance Electric BRU-Series (e.g., BRU-200 or BRU-500) or Allen-Bradley Ultra3000 series drives. Verify that the drive’s motor database contains the Y-3023 parameters.
- Phasing: Incorrect motor power phasing (U, V, W) can lead to “runaway” conditions. Always perform a low-speed “jog” test after installation to verify rotation direction.
- Environment: While rated IP65, avoid direct high-pressure spray on the connectors. If the motor is mounted vertically with the shaft pointing up, use a “drip loop” in the cables.
Product Technical Description
Technically, the Y-3023-2-H00AA utilizes Rare Earth Permanent Magnets on the rotor, which allows for a high torque-to-inertia ratio. This means the motor can accelerate and decelerate extremely quickly without overheating. The “H00AA” suffix refers to the specific mechanical and electrical options, such as the standard encoder resolution, standard mounting flange, and the absence of a mechanical brake. These motors are known for their “low-cogging” design, providing smooth motion even at very low speeds.
Q&A (Common Questions)
Q: My motor is getting very hot. Is this normal? A: Servo motors are designed to operate at high surface temperatures (up to 60°C–70°C). However, if it’s too hot to touch briefly, check for mechanical binding or incorrect current limits in the drive settings.
Q: Can I replace the encoder myself? A: It is not recommended. The encoder must be “aligned” (timed) to the motor’s back-EMF waveform. If the alignment is off, the motor will vibrate, lose torque, or fail to run.
Q: Is this motor still in production? A: No, the Reliance Y-Series is considered a legacy product. While new-old-stock (NOS) exists, many users now opt for refurbished units or migrate to the Allen-Bradley Kinetix series.
Q: What does the “2” in the part number represent? A: In this series, the “2” typically refers to the stack length of the motor, which determines the torque capacity of the unit.
