This excerpt from the book "Electric Motors and Drives: Fundamentals, Types and Applications" examines servo motors and both analog and digital position control.

Design engineers have long struggled with manual calculations and spreadsheets to properly size servo motors and drives for new machines. A recently launched update of Mitsubishi Electric’s Motorizer ...

ST’s EVLSERVO1, a turnkey reference platform for servo motor control, enables sensorless or sensored field-oriented control (FOC) with one, two, or three shunts. It drives three-phase brushless motors ...

Motor-control and servo-drive advances enabled by servo-drive and servo-motor hardware enhancements, such as the transition of inverter switches away from insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs ...

A number of PID-controlled servo-motor options are out there at different price points, but it’s also important to familiarize oneself with making adjustments.

The servo drive is able to supply a brushed DC motor with up to 7 A continuous current at up to 36 V which works out to about 250 W or 1/3 HP.

Selecting the right servo motor the first time is crucial. Here’s a rundown of the key factors involved in choosing the right one and why they matter.

Velocity Limited Torque Mode Standard servo drive-based safety functions may not always be adequate to address every fault that can lead to motor runaway, however, especially in continuous automation ...

JET, a new line of servo drive systems that enables manufacturers to implement advanced automation without significant ...

Nidec Drives, a brand of Nidec Control Techniques, has fully integrated Control Techniques Dynamics (CTD) into its operations, marking a significant step in unifying the company’s servo drive and ...
