The precise meaning of the term ‘servo’ in the context of motors and drives is difficult to pin down. Broadly speaking, if a drive incorporates ‘servo’ in its description, the implication is that it ...

A growing number of manufacturers are saving time and money by testing, diagnosing and even repairing servo motors in-house. We look at the expanded role of encoder test systems and present one ...
