Servo Systems are usually used where closely controlled positioning or torque application is required. This is to a finer degree than can be achieved with stepper motors and will provide a smoother application of motion or torque. There are a number of different flavours of Servo System and you have to understand your load's needs and the working environment to achive the best results.
Application areas:- Rapid Pick & Place, Large Disc Storage, High Accuracy Multi-Axis Tables, Extruders, Robotic Arms and Manipulators etc.
