[James] makes some seriously awesome Iron Man props. In one of his latest helmet builds, he came across a handy hack to lock the faceplate servo in place. You see, as awesome as it is walking around ...

This is the simple basic design of servo motor controller with pulse generator. It uses the CMOS IC 7555 in the Astable mode to generate pulses to drive the servo motor. The circuit can be suitably ...

A new all-in-one brushless servo platform brings EtherNet/IP networking, high power density, and washdown-ready design into a ...

Stepper motors resemble servo motors in that both types are characterized by an ability to rotate a partial turn and then stop for any interval with or without holding torque. In addition, both motor ...

Stepper and servo motors have different attributes when considered for motion applications. Torque curves play an important role in selecting the proper size and type of motor for an application.

This article was updated April 11, 2023. It was originally published March 1, 2000. To help engineers and design teams get all the performance possible from servo systems, here are some of the more ...

One of the more critical decisions engineers can make when designing any type of motion control process is choosing the motor. Getting the right motor, both in terms of type and size, is imperative to ...

The leading and longest established online Process Engineering publication serving the Process Manufacturing Industries ...

The precise meaning of the term ‘servo’ in the context of motors and drives is difficult to pin down. Broadly speaking, if a drive incorporates ‘servo’ in its description, the implication is that it ...
