Posted: March 16, 2016Servomotors 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….

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.
The company’s Jaco2 Robotic Arm provides a lightweight, quiet and easily controlled device to the service...

This webinar gives you guidelines for selecting the perfect DC motor type for your application. For example, which motor type is used in the climate control system of the Boeing Dreamliner, and for what reasons?- Is a brushed or a brushless design more adapted?
- Does a flat pancake type motor fit better or should it be an elongated cylindrical one?
- Are motors with a slotted iron core winding design the right choice, or should it be a motor with a slotless winding?
For motor selection, it is important to know the particular requirements of each application.
- How large are torque and speed? Are there any gears involved?
- How...
