To provide a servo controller for an industrial machine allowing construction of a system achieving more excellent power efficiency than a conventional system. A servo controller includes: a driving motor that drives an industrial machine; a load detecting unit that detects a load on the driving motor or the amount of power consumed by the driving motor; a buffer motor that feeds regenerative power to the driving motor on the basis of a result of the detection by the load detecting unit; and a base speed setting unit for recovering the buffer motor to a second base speed set to be lower than a constant first base speed preset for the buffer motor and applied before the regenerative power is fed to the driving motor after the buffer motor is decelerated from the first base speed and the regenerative power is fed to the driving motor.
