General

When troubleshooting a servo motor or encoder problem, maintenance and repair technicians might find themselves wondering: Do I need a feedback tester or an oscilloscope? The short answer is that it depends on what problem you’re trying to solve. While oscilloscopes

Encoders are one of the most important components in a servo motor application enabling a control system to function properly. We are familiar with many control systems such as how bicyclists use their eyes to adjust their speed or direction,

Servo motor problems can usually be traced to a few common causes: power supply issues, loose connections, overheating, feedback faults, incorrect controller settings, mechanical wear, excessive load, or environmental conditions. The most effective approach is to troubleshoot methodically, starting with

It happens to all of us.  We take our automobile in for a repair and that rattle or engine problem magically disappears. We may not look forward to spending our hard earned money on the repair, but the assurance of

Peux-tu parler plus d'une langue? Speaking multiple languages has many advantages, and the same holds true for a servo motor tester. A device that can read multiple serial protocols gives maintenance teams a faster, more efficient, and more cost-effective way

Used throughout a wide range of industries and applications, servo motors are critical in meeting performance and production targets. When one of these motors is operating at less than full capacity, or is off-line, the results can be disastrous.

Bringing servo motor repair in-house translates into reduced downtime, controlled repair costs, and the extended life of motion-control equipment throughout the factory. But setting up an effective factory-based environment requires more than a workbench and a toolbox. There are seven essential

Every minute a machine sits idle reduces output, disrupts schedules, and increases operating costs. The good news is that many of the most common causes of downtime can be prevented. By focusing on these five key areas, manufacturers can avoid unnecessary

If not diagnosed accurately and promptly, servo motor malfunctions lead to equipment downtime, lost production, and costly repairs. But is the issue electrical or mechanical? The answer comes down to recognizing key symptoms and applying a structured troubleshooting approach. Electrical problems
