servomotors
Feedback-controlled motor systems
Servomotors are electric motors designed for precise control of position, speed, and acceleration.
Unlike ordinary motors that simply spin, servomotors receive continuous feedback from sensors that monitor their exact position, allowing automated systems to make constant adjustments.
They're essential components in robotics, CNC machines, and industrial automation: The robot arm's servomotors position components with sub-millimeter accuracy.
