    hello
    The document discusses servo motors and how they differ from DC motors. Servo motors use a three-wire system of power, ground, and control and have an assembly that includes a DC motor, gearing set, control circuit, and position sensor. They are used in applications like robotics and machine tools to control angular position through an electrical control signal and have low rotor inertia enabling fast response speeds.

    Introduction of Servo motors:

    The control system which is used to control the position or time derivatives of
    position, i.e velocity and acceleration are called servo mechanism.

    The motors which are used in automatic control system are called servo motors

    The servo motors are used to convert an electrical signal (control voltage)
    applied to them into an angular displacement of the shaft.

    The Servo motor comprises of three wire system known as Power, Ground and
    Control whereas DC motor is two wire system known as Power and Ground.

    Servo motor has an assembly of four things DC motor, gearing set, control
    circuit and a position sensor. DC Motor does not comprise of any assembly.

    Servo motor does not rotate freely and continuously like DC motor. Its rotation
    is limited to 180⁰ whereas DC motor rotates continuously.

    Servo motors are used in robotic arms, legs or radder control system and toy
    cars. DC motors are used in fans, car wheels, etc.

    Servo Motor also called Control motors. They are used in feedback control
    systems as output actuators and does not use for continuous energy conversion.
    The principle of the Servomotor is similar to that of the other electromagnetic
    motor, but the construction and the operation are different. Their power rating
    varies from a fraction of a watt to a few hundred watts.

    The rotor inertia of the motors is low and have a high speed of response. The
    rotor of the Motor has the long length and smaller diameter.

    They operate at very low speed and sometimes even at the zero speed.

    The servo motor is widely used in radar and computers, robot, machine tool,
    tracking and guidance systems, processing controlling, etc.

    The Applications of the Servomotor are as follows:-

     They are used in Radar system and process controller.


     Servomotors are used in computers and robotics.
     They are also used in machine tools.
     Tracking and guidance systems.
    The power rating of the servo motor may vary from the fraction of watts to few
    hundreds of watts. The rotor of servo motor have low inertia strength, and high
    speed.

    The Applications of the Servomotor are as follows:-

     They are used in Radar system and process controller.


     Servomotors are used in computers and robotics.
     They are also used in machine tools.
     Tracking and guidance systems.
