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 ...

Today, we shall talk about how [Adam Bäckström] took a DS3225 servo and rebuilt it to improve its accuracy, then built a high-precision robot arm with those modified servos to show just how much of an ...

Sponsored by Texas Instruments: Single-chip microcontrollers geared to servo and other industrial/EV control applications help engineers cost-effectively design multiple-axis systems. As manufacturing ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

Monitoring takes the form of sensors and intelligent devices connected to a digital processor. These monitored values are used for computing and then controlling some sort of real-world action. Many ...

As the shift to automation continues to gain momentum in the industrial sector, servo motors and stepper motors with electric actuators become ever more important. When selecting a motor for an ...

Servo motor sizing is the process of selecting the best motor for a servo application. Misconceptions engineers can fall into when selecting a motor include: sizing based on the horsepower rating of ...
