General

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

For manufacturers, unplanned equipment downtime poses the greatest risk to productivity and profitability. When servo motors fail or operate below peak efficiency, the consequences can be severe, disrupting robotics, CNC machines, and entire production lines. The results: significant production losses

When considering which type of servo motor to use, the choice often boils down to a choice between brushed servo motors or brushless servo motors. So, how do you know which is right for you? The answer is of course:

Like any piece of equipment, servo motors are prone to wear and will experience issues over time. When problems arise, accurate diagnostics and swift repairs are essential. However, attempting these tasks without the proper tools creates significant challenges before, during,

Delivering the Highest Return on Your Servo Motor Investment While training and support might be an afterthought for some companies, at Mitchell Electronics, Inc. we recognize the value it provides to our customers. Training is an investment in your people, equipment,

If you know the first thing about servo motors, then you don’t need to be told that servo motor encoders are responsible for position, speed, and direction. Without the encoder, the motor would lack precise control and would only be

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 motors, like any mechanical equipment, require periodic checks and servicing to ensure they function correctly. Regularly scheduled maintenance not only prolongs the life of the servo motor but also enhances its efficiency and reliability. This involves cleaning the motor

Servicing your servo motor is essential to ensuring its optimal performance and prolonging its lifespan. However, care should be taken during disassembly, servicing, and reassembly to avoid misalignment of the feedback device. Encoders, resolvers, and Hall effect sensors provide feedback on

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
