servo motors

Feedback-controlled motion devices

Servo motors are electric motors designed for precise control of position, speed, and acceleration.

They receive feedback signals that continuously adjust their operation, making them essential in robotics, CNC machines, and automated manufacturing.

Unlike standard motors that simply spin, servo motors move to exact positions on command: The servo motors in the robotic arm positioned the welding torch with millimeter accuracy.
