Servomotors are generally used as a high performance alternative to the stepper motor. Stepper motors have some inherent ability to control position, as they have built-in output steps.
This often allows them to be used as an open-loop position control, without any feedback encoder, as their drive signal specifies the number of steps of movement to rotate. This lack of feedback though limits their performance, as the stepper motor can only drive a load that is well within its capacity, otherwise missed steps under load may lead to positioning errors.
The encoder and controller of a servomotor are an additional cost, but they optimize the performance of the overall system (for all of speed, power and accuracy) relative to the capacity of the basic motor. With larger systems, where a powerful motor represents an increasing proportion of the system cost, servomotors have the advantage….

Reprint of December 30, 2015 Linear Motion Tips article from Design World
Servo motor sizing is often done with the help of a manufacturer’s sizing program, but it’s important to understand the three most critical factors—speed, torque, and inertia—to ensure you select the best-fit motor for the application.
Selecting the right servo motor for a linear motion system is a complex task, beginning with initial assumptions and component selections, which must be checked through a series of calculations and, in most cases, repeated over several iterations until a suitable combination of motor and mechanics is found...Categories: Technical Support - Posted: August 31, 2015
The maxon academy features several e-Learning modules to help deepen your knowledge on drive technology. We recently introduced a series of How-to Videos that are easy-to-follow tutorials with specific information on topics from motor selection to gears, winding and motor type comparisons. These short videos are perfect for busy engineers that need a quick review on the selection of high-precision drives and systems.

To understand the concept of high efficiency motors, you must first know how to calculate efficiency and the losses associated with the motor components themselves.
The final measured efficiency of a motor is calculated based only on the elements of the particular application they’re used in. For the motors themselves, without a load, manufacturers provide ratings based on standard formulas. To understand high efficiency motors you only need to know what makes them different.Cutaway of a maxon brush servo motor

Service robots for the disabled must be reliable, safe and easy to use. The right motion system components are essential for these highly specific applications.
Unlike industrial robots for manufacturing, service robots come with their own specification requirements aimed specifically at the end user, and the most discriminating user at that—a human being. That’s why designing and manufacturing service robots takes a particular set of skills and engineering expertise. For example, when Canada-based Kinova Robotics creates designs for this market, the design team brings years of experience in the field. And although they’ve modified the robots over the years, as new products and systems become readily available, they can produce higher quality and more useable products. Using the latest technologies allows the designers to continue to advance offerings to the public.

Kuka’s compact robots in the KR Agilus series are precise, agile and fast. As agile systems, these five-axis and six-axis handling units feature short cycle times and high repeatability, particularly for pick-and-place tasks.
Synchronous servomotors from Kollmorgen’s AKM series play a major role in achieving this precision. Using collaborative co-engineering, the two companies reduced the installation volume of the motors compared to standard models. The performance of the robots within their rated load range sets new standards for speed, cycle times and energy supply. They can even handle unusual tasks in base and cover installation positions. Kollmorgen developed the custom motors by adapting motors from the standard AKM servomotor series. As fast all-rounders, the robots are suitable for general industrial applications. With a dead weight of 51 kg, the basic model can support loads up to 6 kg. The compact robots are suitable for process automation...
