The Ecodrive Cs series introduces a new generation of compact AC servo drives in the 100- to 550-watt power range, with 230VAC single- or three-phase power input. Most units in the servo drive family ...

Figure 2: By using smaller servo drives, robots have less dead weight to deal with, reducing their wear-and-tear. The ongoing trend of micro-sized servo drive technology is driven by Moore’s Law and ...

It is an engineering truism that there is no such thing as a perfect solution—just the best solution for the problem at hand. That holds particularly true for servo motors and stepper motors. Both are ...

Early incarnations of the electric motor first appeared in the 1740s through the work of Scottish Benedictine monk and scientist, Andrew Gordon. Other scientists such as Michael Faraday and Joseph ...

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, ...
