Suddenly, a single uncertified servo drive fails due to poor electromagnetic shielding or internal thermal fatigue. The motor jerks unexpectedly, a delicate silicon wafer—worth thousands of ...

ST’s EVLSERVO1, a turnkey reference platform for servo motor control, enables sensorless or sensored field-oriented control (FOC) with one, two, or three shunts. It drives three-phase brushless motors ...

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 ...

Design engineers have long struggled with manual calculations and spreadsheets to properly size servo motors and drives for new machines. A recently launched update of Mitsubishi Electric’s Motorizer ...

About Allied Motion Technologies Inc. Allied Motion Technologies (NASDAQ: AMOT), designs, manufactures, and sells precision and specialty motion control components and systems used in a broad range of ...

To meet the needs of today’s advanced motion control applications, servo drives are getting smaller. However, the power requirements are far from following suit. These applications require powerful, ...

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, ...

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 ...

Motion control demand tied to humanoid applications is forecast to grow at an average annual rate of 102% from 2023 through 2029.
