With modern technology, it is quite simple to create a complete home automation system, which allows you to control any type of load using your smartphone. This article helps you to design an IoT ...

Faster, smaller, and smarter is the mantra of today's servo-controlled machines. As a result, end users have come to expect more and better performance, forcing designers to continuously improve ...

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) defines a servo device as “an adjustable-speed AC power drive system that includes an AC motor integrated by feedback, a converter, and control, ...

Authored by: George Ellis, Chief Engineer, Servo Systems, Kollmorgen, Radford, Va. Key points: Three key measures — accuracy, response, and robust stability — characterize how servosystems perform.

You have a project that needs something to move. Should you use a stepper motor or a servo motor? [Matthias] has an opinion, and you can hear his thoughts in the video below. One tip we’ll take away ...

Servos seem to be the go-to option when adding motors to hobby projects. They’re easy to hack for continuous rotation for use in a robot, but with the control board intact they are fairly accurate for ...

As machine builders push for higher throughput, tighter control accuracy, and smaller footprints, the selection of servo ...

Stepper motors resemble servo motors in that both types are characterized by an ability to rotate a partial turn and then stop for any interval with or without holding torque. In addition, both motor ...
