Frequently asked questions:

What is an electric motor?

An electric servo motor is a self-contained device that converts electrical energy to mechanical energy, creating motion. It pushes or rotates objects. Its precision and power make it ideal in an industrial automation setting.

An electric servo motor consists of: A motor, a potentiometer (a resistor which controls the flow of electric current) and a control circuit. The motor is attached to the control wheel by means of gears. When the motor rotates, the gears are turned. The potentiometer’s resistance changes, regulating the direction and size of the motor’s movement.

How does an electric motor work?

In a servo motor, an electrical pulse is sent through the control wire and this turns a rotor. The electrical pulse has variable width (called pulse width modulation, PWM). The motor’s movement and position are determined by the PWM through the control wire.

A servo motor holds its position, even against external force and thus it provides torque.

What is an electric motor used for?

Electric servo motors are available in a diverse range of sizes and torque densities, making them ideal in a range of applications where they precisely control the position of a rotary motor or a linear actuator.

What is the working principle of electric motors?

Using the working principle of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), where the angle of rotation is controlled by the pulse duration.
