The Purpose of Servo Motors
Servo motors are small but powerful motors that provide precise control over position, speed, and torque. They operate using a pulse-width modulation (PWM) signal and are widely used in applications requiring accuracy and efficiency.
Two Types of Servo Motors
AC Servo Motors – Used in high-performance industrial applications like robotics and CNC machinery.
DC Servo Motors – Common in smaller, low-power applications such as camera auto-focus systems.
Items That Use Servo Motors
Servo motors play a crucial role in many everyday and industrial applications, including:
Robotics: Controlling precise movements at joints.
Conveyor Belts: Ensuring smooth product movement in manufacturing lines.
Camera Auto-Focus: Adjusting lens focus automatically.
Robotic Vehicles: Used in military and bomb disposal applications.
Solar Tracking Systems: Adjusting solar panels for optimal sun exposure.
Metal Cutting & Forming Machines: Used in milling, grinding, and punching.
Antenna Positioning: Ensuring accurate alignment in communication systems.
Woodworking & CNC Machines: Used in lathes and drilling operations.
Textile Machinery: Controlling weaving and spinning machines.
Printing Presses: Ensuring precision in printing operations.
Automatic Doors: Found in hospitals and supermarkets.
