The fundamental concepts of servo motion control have not changed significantly in the last 50 years. The basic reasons for using servo systems in contrast to open loop systems include the need to ...

The servo motor is an older precise-positioning motor arrangement now facing some competition from the stepper motor. Part 1 of this article introduced the concept of servo motors along with servo ...

Maxon motor expands its offering of miniaturized controllers with its latest OEM plug-in module. This high-performance 4-quadrant PWM servo motor controller is designed to command ...

Motor controllers in general and especially closed-loop controllers have come a very long way in the past few years. Control flexibility, adaptability, and strategies that were only dreamed of or very ...

In servo systems, optimising performance factors such as gain and phase shift is critical to achieving precise control. While modern microprocessors can tune servo drives and motors to balance control ...

The concept of a servo motor dates back to the early 1900s, but the first practical version emerged in the 1930s. Originally used in military applications like anti-aircraft guns, they gradually found ...
