 A servomotor is a rotary actuator or linear actuator that allows

for precise control of angular or linear position, velocity and
acceleration.
 Essentially, it consists of an
1. electric motor,
2. feedback device,
3. electronic controller.
 Motors can be either AC or DC
 Can be of 1 phase or 3 phase.
 DC motors can be brushed or brushless.
 Brushless DC motors are more expensive, drives are more
complex, but are more reliable and maintenance free.
 Feedback device for servomotors is typically an encoder or
resolver built into the motor frame.
 Control circuitry is a motion controller (generates motion) and
a drive to supply power to the motor

 Position control using Pulse Width Modulation Technique.
 The width of the pulse applied to the motor is varied and send
for a fixed amount of time.
 The pulse width determines the angular position of the servo
motor.
 For example
a pulse width of 1 ms -a angular position of 0 degrees,
a pulse width of 2 ms - a angular width of 180 degrees.
 Electronic amplifier used to power electric

servomechanisms.

 A servo drive monitors the feedback signal

from the servomechanism and continually

adjusts for deviation from expected behaviour.
