Hobby servos are great, but they’re in many ways not ideal for robotic applications. The good news is that [Adam] brings the latest version of his ServoProject, providing off-the-shelf servos with ...

As manufacturing industry continues to replace manual processes with automated versions, servo motors are replacing pneumatic and hydraulic systems (Fig. 1). It’s resulted in a rapid increase in, and ...

You have just spent $10,000 and put in hundreds of hours to build the latest true turbojet-powered, radio-controlled scale model of an F104 Star Fighter, a model that weighs 30 pounds and that will ...

ACS Motion Control has developed an algorithm -- ServoBoost -- designed to provide significant throughput enhancement for motion-control products. The company noted that ServoBoost also minimizes ...

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, ...

An industry shift to servo controls for backhoes was one equipment manufacturer JCB bought into. The softer pushing and reduced arm throws required on servo controls led to a reduction in operator ...

On this four-axis tray loader, an integrated controller teams up with intelligent servo drives on all four servo motors. In its previous design, this tray loader was also a four-axis machine, but it ...

Any aviation buff is well aware of the Wright Brothers’ role in the history of flight. But it’s likely that many can’t identify the Wright’s seminal contribution: aerodynamic control. When their plane ...

The automation engineers of the 1960s would look with envy at the servo technology in use today. Small, precise, and, above all, electric, they are a reflection of the compactness of the semiconductor ...

I enjoy animating scenes on my O gauge layout, and have come across a great way to get slower, more-precise realistic action: using servos. A servomotor, or servo, is a small, inexpensive device that ...
