I've never used one but I've seen many printers where the Y axis moves the bed (and therefore also the part being printed).
These printers almost exclusively use Marlin firmware which has separate speed limits for X and Y axes. More importantly, separate acceleration for X versus Y axis. You can set these values on your printer (hopefully). Some versions of Mariln you have to set these values in Configuration.h and recompile the firmware. Anyway the manufacturer of your printer should have set these values to reasonable settings for your particular printer.
You may be able to mess with them in the menu system - typically in a menu called "motion settings".
So if you set the speed for example to 200mm/sec in Cura, the Y axis will be limited by that speed limit and shouldn't actually move that fast. And more importantly, the Y acceleration should be slower than the X acceleration.

Another Cura release has arrived and in this 5.8 beta release, the focus is on improving Z seams, as well as completing support for the full Method series of printers by introducing a profile for the UltiMaker Method.
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications
