servo motor

While servo motors are often chosen as a high-performance alternative to stepper motors, their variety and specialized applications are less commonly understood. This article aims to explain the differences between the types of servo motors, enhancing your understanding of when and why to use each type...

What makes a bus based Motion Controller deterministic?   What are the three types of Step Motors?   What is the difference between an Absolute Encoder and a Resolver? These questions (and many more) are quickly answered Motion Control Technology Primer...

This comprehensive guide aims to facilitate informed decision-making for engineers ranging from entry-level to veterans, encompassing a thorough exploration of the components, cost implications, and ideal applications of these mechanisms...

These new explosion proof approvals for the high-voltage Goldline EBH servo motor exemplify Kollmorgen’s commitment to advancing the state of the art in motion control and meeting the most demanding application requirements...

In this whitepaper, we will compare servo systems and stepper systems, which are commonly used in motion control applications. We will discuss the differences between them, their advantages and disadvantages, the industries/applications where each excels, and a brief historical timeline of each...

This whitepaper, written by Electromate CEO Warren Osak, provides a comprehensive guide on mitigating electrical noise in servo systems, which can lead to performance degradation and reduced accuracy. The paper covers various steps and techniques for eliminating noise, including proper grounding, shielding, cable routing, noise filtering, component selection, and regular maintenance...

The choice between a servo and stepper motor is an important decision in any system design. In general, the higher the performance requirement (high precision, variable load, high duty cycle, high torque vs. speed) the more likely a servo will be the choice.

Kollmorgen has recently introduced the new EKM series of Enhanced, High-Performance, Brushless AC Servo Motors.
