The General Principle of using a Servo Motor for Position Control

Servo motors are typically employed in closed-loop position control; for example let us consider the following application, where the angular position of the output shaft is intended to follow the reference voltage (ϴref).

How Servo Motors are used in Process Control

Servo motors are continuous motion mechanisms that use feedback signals to provide position and velocity control in a closed loop system.

Servo motors can rotate to a given position be stopped and reversed. The angular position and speed can … Read more
