Servo Motors

A Servo Motor is a closed-loop servomechanism that uses position feedback (like encoder) to control its motion and final position. The input to its control is a signal (either analogue or digital) representing the position commanded for the output shaft.

Servo Motors are used in radio-controlled airplanes to position control surfaces like elevators, rudders, walking a robot, or operating grippers.

Servo Motor advantages:

  • Excel at position and speed control.
  • High output power relative to motorsize and weight.
  • Encoder determines accuracy and resolution.
  • High efficiency. It can approach 90% at light loads.
  • High torque to inertia ratio. Servo Motors can rapidly accelerate loads.
  • Servo motors achieve high speed at high torque values.
  • Quiet at high speeds.

Servo Motor disadvantages:

  • Requires tuning to stabilize the feedback loop.
  • Will become unpredictable when something breaks, so safety circuits are required.
  • Complex controller requires encoder and electronic support.
  • Peak torque is limited to a 1% duty cycle. Servo Motors can be damaged by sustained overload.
  • Gear boxes are often required to deliver power at higher speeds.
  • Higher overall system cost and the installation cost of a Servo Motor system may be higher than that of a stepper motor due to the requirement for feedback components.
