Servo motors can be classified into high-voltage and low-voltage categories based on their operating voltage. These two types of servo motors differ in terms of application scenarios, performance characteristics, and suitable industries.
Permanent-magnet servo motors are precision devices that convert electrical energy into controlled mechanical motion. They operate based on the principles of electromagnetism and feedback control. The motor consists of a rotor embedded with permanent magnets and a stator with windings that generate a rotating magnetic field when energized.
When an electric current passes through the stator windings, it creates a magnetic field that interacts with the magnetic field of the rotor’s permanent magnets. This interaction produces torque, causing the rotor to turn. The precise control of this motion is achieved through a feedback system, typically involving encoders or resolvers. These sensors continuously monitor the motor’s position, speed, and torque, sending real-time data to a controller.
The controller compares this feedback with the desired setpoint and adjusts the input current accordingly to correct any deviations, ensuring accurate and stable performance. Permanent-magnet servo motors are known for their high efficiency, excellent torque-to-inertia ratio, and rapid response, making them ideal for applications requiring precise motion control, such as robotics, CNC machinery, and aerospace systems.
Permanent-magnet servo motors offer several advantages, including high efficiency, an excellent torque-to-inertia ratio, fast acceleration and deceleration, precise control, and low maintenance, thanks to the absence of brushes.
They are widely used in industrial automation, robotics, CNC machinery, aerospace systems, medical equipment, and renewable energy systems, among other high-precision applications.
Permanent-magnet servo motors use permanent magnets in the rotor, which provides higher efficiency and better performance compared to other types like brushed DC or induction servo motors. They also offer superior torque and speed control.
Common feedback systems include encoders and resolvers. Encoders provide digital feedback on position and speed, while resolvers offer analog feedback, often used in harsh environments due to their robustness.
