The Hidden Costs of Intermittent Servo Motor Failures
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
8 Tips for Troubleshooting Servo Motor Problems
Like any mechanical or electrical device, servo motors can encounter problems from time to time. Regular maintenance of your servo motors will help to avoid many issues. This includes cleaning, lubrication, and routine inspections to catch potential issues before they
What is a Servo Motor Used For? 10 Nontraditional Applications of Servo Motors
From CNC machines to robotics, servo motors are helping to drive the manufacturing industry. But their applications extend far beyond traditional manufacturing and motion control. Known for their precision and ability to maintain position, these devices can be found in
Encoder Alignment: Isn’t Important – It’s Critical
Servo motor issues can be traced to any number of areas such as dirt, grease, cracked housings, excessive vibration, extreme temperatures, and so on. However, the problem is often related to the servo motor encoder. More specifically, problems with the
9 Steps to Reduce Servo Motor Repair Costs
Servo motor repair can be a lengthy and costly process. The longer the servo motor is out of service, the greater the impact on production – and ultimately the bottom line. If you suspect problems with a servo motor, follow
Servo Motors and Factory Downtime: What’s the Connection?
When machines are running, manufacturers are manufacturing. But when shop equipment is taken offline for unscheduled repairs, the results are unnecessary factory downtime. And that translates into lost revenue, unsatisfied customers, and frustrated employees. Over the past decade, technology in the
Servo Motor Encoder Repair to Avoid Silence
When machinery is off-line for unscheduled repairs or is operating at less than full capacity, money is lost. As a result, more manufacturers are accelerating their plans to bring equipment diagnosis and even repair in house. And for a growing
Does My Servo Motor Need Repair?
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.
Brushless Servo Motors
Permanent magnet servo motors are used in a wide and expanding number of applications. These motors fall into two main types: brushed and brushless.
