If you’re building a moving thing with a microcontroller, you’ll probably want to throw a servo controller in the mix. Driving a servo or two with a microcontroller takes away valuable cycles that ...

How do you make things move? You add in a motor that converts electrical energy into motion. That’s a simple idea, but how do you know where the motor is? That’s where the servo motor comes in. By ...

As machine builders push for higher throughput, tighter control accuracy, and smaller footprints, the selection of servo motors becomes a critical engineering decision.

Embedded engineers designing modern industrial systems for advanced robotics, automated machines, and motion systems require putting together many elements to build an industrial servo drive. That ...

The objective is to move a servo motor to a specific location by building a wireless transmitter and a wireless receiver to translate and implement the input data. The objective is to move a servo ...

It is an engineering truism that there is no such thing as a perfect solution—just the best solution for the problem at hand. That holds particularly true for servo motors and stepper motors. Both are ...

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) defines a servo device as “an adjustable-speed AC power drive system that includes an AC motor integrated by feedback, a converter, and control, ...

A growing number of manufacturers are saving time and money by testing, diagnosing and even repairing servo motors in-house. We look at the expanded role of encoder test systems and present one ...
