Types of AC Motors and Applications

AC motors are considered general purpose motors that can be easily controlled in a variety of applications. Various types of motors and gearheads can be combined as a gear motor to meet diverse needs. If the application does not require precise indexing motion or small footprint, AC motors and gear motors can be a simple […]

What is a Servo Drive and How Does It Work?

Copley servo drive XEC-XPC

What is a servo drive? A servo drive is used to deliver power to a servo motor with feedback designed to accurately control position, speed, and torque in robotic and machine automation systems. Motion control master software may command a servo drive to move to a desired position with a desired profile velocity. It may […]
