Introduction
The servo motor is most commonly used for high technology devices in the
industrial application like automation technology. It is a self-contained
electrical device, that rotate parts of a machine with high efficiency and great
precision. The output shaft of this motor can be moved to a particular angle.
Servo motors are mainly used in home electronics, toys, cars, airplanes, etc.
This article discusses about what is a servo motor, servo motor working, servo
motor types and its applications.
Servo Motor
Types of Servo Motor

Servo motors are classified into different types based on their application, such
as AC servo motor, DC servo motor, brushless DC servo motor, positional
rotation, continuous rotation and linear servo motor etc. Typical servo motors
comprise of three wires namely, power control and ground. The shape and size
of these motors depend on their applications. RC servo motor is the most
common type of servo motor used in hobby applications, robotics due to their
simplicity, affordability and reliability of control by microprocessors.
1) DC Servo Motor
The motor which is used as a DC servo motor generally have a separate DC
source in the field of winding & armature winding. The control can be archived
either by controlling the armature current or field current. Field control includes
some particular advantages over armature control. In the same way armature
control includes some advantages over field control. Based on the applications
the control should be applied to the DC servo motor. DC servo motor provides
very accurate and also fast respond to start or stop command signals due to the
2
low armature inductive reactance. DC servo motors are used in similar
equipments and computerized numerically controlled machines.
DC Servo Motor
2) AC Servo Motor
AC servo motor is an AC motor that includes encoder is used with controllers
for giving closed loop control and feedback. This motor can be placed to high
accuracy and also controlled precisely as compulsory for the applications.
Frequently these motors have higher designs of tolerance or better bearings and
some simple designs also use higher voltages in order to accomplish greater
torque. Applications of an AC motor mainly involve in automation, robotics,
CNC machinery, and other applications a high level of precision and needful
versatility.
AC Servo Motor
3) Positional Rotation Servo Motor
Positional rotation servo motor is a most common type of servo motor. The
shaft’s o/p rotates in about 180o. It includes physical stops located in the gear
mechanism to stop turning outside these limits to guard the rotation sensor.

These common servos involve in radio-controlled water, radio controlled cars,
aircraft, robots, toys and many other applications.
4) Continuous Rotation Servo Motor
Continuous rotation servo motor is quite related to the common positional

rotation servo motor, but it can go in any direction indefinitely. The control
signal, rather than set the static position of the servo, is understood as the speed
and direction of rotation. The range of potential commands sources the servo to
rotate clockwise or anticlockwise as preferred, at changing speed, depending on
the command signal. This type of motor is used in a radar dish if you are riding
one on a robot or you can use one as a drive motor on a mobile robot.

5) Linear Servo Motor
Linear servo motor is also similar the positional rotation servo motor is
discussed above, but with an extra gears to alter the o/p from circular to back-
and-forth. These servo motors are not simple to find, but sometimes you can
find them at hobby stores where they are used as actuators in higher model
airplanes.

Linear Servo Motor
Servo Motor Working Principle

A unique design for servo motors are proposed in controlling the robotics and
for control applications. They are basically used to adjust the speed control at
high torques and accurate positioning. Parts required are motor position sensor
and a highly developed controller. These motors can be categorized according
the servo motor controlled by servomechanism. If DC motor is controlled using
this mechanism, then it is named as a DC servo motor. Servo motors are
available in power ratings from fraction of a watt to 100 watts.The rotor of a
servo motor is designed longer in length and smaller in diameter so that it has
low inertia.

Applications of Servo Motor
The servo motor is small and efficient, but serious to use in some applications
like precise position control.This motor is controlled by a pulse width modulator
signal. The applications of servo motors mainly involve in computers, robotics,
toys, CD/DVD players, etc. These motors are extensively used in those
applications where a particular task is to be done frequently in an exact manner.
Servo Motor in Packaging Machine
• The servo motor is used in robotics to activate movements, giving the arm
to its precise angle.
• The Servo motor is used to start, move and stop conveyor belts carrying
the product along with many stages. For instance, product labeling,
bottling and packaging
• The servo motor is built into the camera to correct a lens of the camera to
improve out of focus images.
• The servo motor is used in robotic vehicle to control the robot wheels,
producing plenty torque to move, start and stop the vehicle and control its
speed.
• The servo motor is used in solar tracking system to correct the angle of the
panel so that each solar panel stays to face the sun
The Servo motor is used in metal forming and cutting machines to provide
specific motion control for milling machines
• The Servo motor is used in Textiles to control spinning and weaving
machines, knitting machines and looms
• The Servo motor is used in automatic door openers to control the door in
public places like supermarkets, hospitals and theatres
