Getting Started Sizing and Selecting Servos: Understanding the Need for a System Solution

Servo systems incorporate a feedback device that reports rotor position to the drive so that it can continuously adjust the current it delivers for precise control of motor speed, torque and position. Properly configured and tuned to the application requirements, servo systems can be extremely accurate. But there are many variables that can compromise this desired precision.

 

Eliminate these variables by taking a holistic approach to sizing and selecting servo system components to achieve your specific mechanical load and motion requirements. In this white paper, you’ll learn how to create and evaluate motion profiles, choose the optimal feedback device, specify appropriate cables, compensate for environmental conditions, and more.
