A servomechanism amplifies the effort of the operator by the use of fluid pumps,electric motors,air pumps etc. Generally it can't be achieved without an external power source.

An example is power assisted steering in a vehicle. The driver moves the steering wheel and this detected by a sensor which moves the wheels via a powered gearing until the output movement is matched by the input movement. There is also a feedback mechanism from output to input which gives the driver the 'feel' that is needed to stop over reaction.

Does the servo motor contain the servo?

A "servo motor" and a "servo" are the same thing. Servos are constructed from three basic pieces; a motor, a potentiometer (variable resister) that is connected to the output shaft, and a control board. The potentiometer allows the control circuitry to monitor the current angle of the servo motor. The motor, through a series of gears, turns the output shaft and the potentiometer simultaneously. The potentiometer is fed into the servo control circuit and when the control circuit detects that the position is correct, it stops the motor. If the control circuit detects that the angle is not correct, it will turn the motor the correct direction until the angle is correct. Normally a servo is used to control an angular motion of between 0 and 180 degrees. It is not mechanically capable (unless modified) of turning any farther due to the mechanical stop build on to the main output gear.


Is automobile cruise control open or closed loop?

A cruise control is an example of a closed loop servo.


What are the industrial applications of brushless servo motors?

Industrial servo motors control position. Higher functioning servo motors may also detect speed in addition to position. Controlling speed provides benefits rather than always functioning at full speed.


What are the uses of complementary symmetry class B push-pull amplifier?

How do you code an arduino to control a servo on a timer?

You will need a sketch (an arduino program), and you'll need to know the interface from the arduino to the peripheral (servo)


What is a speed control solenoid do on 95 wrangler?

Speed control is Chrysler's name for cruise control. The speed control relay on your Wrangler supplies power to the vacuum servo for the cruise control. This servo opens or closes the throttle plate in the throttle body based on commands from PCM when your cruise control is set.

What is servo motor What are its applications in modern technology?

A servo mechanism is one where there is a control system, and actuator; and where there is feedback from the actuator to provide agreement with the control signal. The cruise control on your car is a servo system, for it senses the actuator's effect (road speed) and sends back a signal to the accelerator to adjust the car speed to the set target. Early servo mechanisms (but not the earliest) used an electrical motor, which was also able to send back information on its position. This feedback is the essential part of a servo mechanism. Probably the origin of the word is allied to "servant".
