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

This article originally appeared on Heidenhain.us and has been published here with permission. Servo motors are electric motors that let engineers and designers precisely control position, velocity ...

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 ...

The table shows the pin configuration of the Arduino UNO–based robotic arm. The red (VCC) wires of all servos are connected ...

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, ...

One of the more critical decisions engineers can make when designing any type of motion control process is choosing the motor. Getting the right motor, both in terms of type and size, is imperative to ...

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 ...

While building robotics projects, the importance of controllers and motors cannot be overstated. These components are the heart and soul of any robotic system, providing the necessary control and ...
