Technology advances in servo drives have made them the workhorses of motion control. Here are some recommendations for implementing servo drives: 1. Don't fear servos. There are many different levels ...

Servos have played a key role in shaping the landscape of motion control systems, enabling new levels of accuracy, precision and dynamism. With cycle times measured in microseconds and the ability to ...

In the last few years, the use of electric servo technology has expanded rapidly into applications that have traditionally been deprived of the benefits of high-performance motion control.

The method involves changing the triple-loop cascade control to a dual-loop control architecture with an integrated outer loop for position and speed control and an inner loop for current control.

A motor is the mechanical or electrical device that generates the rotational or linear force used to power a machine. A drive is the electronic device that harnesses and controls the electrical energy ...
