Hobby servos are great, but they’re in many ways not ideal for robotic applications. The good news is that [Adam] brings the latest version of his ServoProject, providing off-the-shelf servos with ...

[Frank Herrmann] had an interesting idea to turn a geared DC motor into a servo motor assembly, but with a stepper motor-like interface. By stacking some small PCBs behind the motor body, it was ...

The simple circuit design in Figure 1 lets you measure all components of a current flowing in a dc servo motor. The rectified output of the circuit uses ground as a reference, so you can measure the ...

Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc. is announcing the release of the common DC bus servo drive (MELSERVO-J5D) solution. MELSERVOJ5D servo amplifiers are ideal for medium to large servo applications ...

Humanoid robotics is gaining popularity, though a common misconception remains that it is complex and expensive. This system ...

It is an engineering truism that there is no such thing as a perfect solution—just the best solution for the problem at hand. That holds particularly true for servo motors and stepper motors. Both are ...

As manufacturing industry continues to replace manual processes with automated versions, servo motors are replacing pneumatic and hydraulic systems (Fig. 1). It’s resulted in a rapid increase in, and ...
