A servo motor is a motor designed to allow precise control in terms of position, dynamics and speed. An encoder and a servo drive are used in a closed control loop. Servo drives are typically controlled via Profinet, EtherCAT, CANopen, Analogue or via a Pulse/direction signal.

Features:

• High torquel
• Compact design
• Large speed range
• Long lifetime
• Low vibration

Servo motor vs. stepper motor

Although servo motors and stepper motors have a similar range of applications, there are clear differences:

• Closed loop operation: servo motors always operate in closed loop, while stepper motors can also operate in open loop.
• High powers: servo motors are better suited for applications with high powers and continuous use.
• Speed range: suitable for demanding processes where precision and speed are crucial.

Applications

Servo motors are widely used in various industries. Here are some of their main applications:

• Robotics: for precision movements in robotic arms and industrial robots.
• CNC-machines: for precise milling, turning and machining of materials.
• Automatic packaging systems: such as filling, sealing and labeling of products.
• Transport and sorting systems: for controlling the speed and direction of conveyor belts.
• Medical equipment: in surgical robots and diagnostic machines.
• Printing houses and printers: for accurate positioning in professional printing solutions.
