servomotoori

Servomotoori, often shortened to servos, are a type of electric motor that allows for precise control of angular or linear position, velocity, and acceleration. Unlike standard DC motors that run at full speed when power is applied, servomotors incorporate a feedback mechanism. This feedback system, typically a sensor like a potentiometer or encoder, constantly monitors the motor's actual position. A control circuit compares this actual position with the desired position sent by a controller. If there's a discrepancy, the control circuit adjusts the power supplied to the motor to move it towards the target position.

Servomotors are widely used in applications requiring accurate movement. This includes robotics, where they are essential for controlling the movement of robotic arms and joints, and in radio-controlled models, such as cars, airplanes, and boats, for steering and control surface actuation. They are also found in automation systems, printers, and even in camera autofocus mechanisms. The key advantage of servomotors is their ability to hold a specific position even under load.

There are different types of servomotors, including analog and digital variants. Digital servomotors generally offer faster response times and higher precision due to their more sophisticated internal circuitry. The size and power rating of servomotors vary greatly, from tiny microservos used in small electronics to large industrial servomotors capable of moving heavy machinery.
