A servo motor is an electric motor with a built in rotation sensor, they are needed for robotics. Say a robot moves its arm by turning a servo motor, the motor would send information concerning the degree of rotation on its axis back to the robot so the robot can keep tabs on the position of its arm, so if something bumps its arm it will know it and so-on.

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.
Does syringe pump uses servo motor or stepper motor?
It depends. Servo Motor provides a smoother flow rate than a stepper motor, but most companies manufacture syringe pumps with a stepper motor due to number of stopping point and exactness of stopping. This provides aspiration and dispense accuracy and precision. Syringe Pump with Servo Motor (such as PSD/3) however provides smooth flow rate and flow rate accuracy.
What is the difference between simple dc motor and servo motor?
DC motor : -DC (Direct Current) Motors are two wire (power & ground), continuous rotation motors. -The speed of DC motors is controlled using pulse width modulation (PWM), a technique of rapidly pulsing the power on and off. The percentage of time spent cycling the on/off ratio determines the speed of the motor, e.g. if the power is cycled at 50% (half on, half off), then the motor will spin at half the speed of 100% (fully on). Each pulse is so rapid that the motor appears to be continuously spinning with no stuttering. Servo Motor : -Servo motors are generally an assembly of four things: a DC motor, a gearing set, a control circuit and a position-sensor (usually a potentiometer). -The position of servo motors can be controlled more precisely than those of standard DC motors, and they usually have three wires (power, ground &). Power to servo motors is constantly applied, with the servo control circuit regulating the draw to drive the motor. -PWM is used for the control signal of servo motors. However, unlike DC motors it's the duration of the positive pulse that determines the position, rather than speed, of the servo shaft.
What is the effect of feedback on DC servo motor performance?

What are the main parts of a DC servo motor?
Motor inside and outside movement and non movement material
What you mean by servo in servo motor?
The servo motor is a type of motor which acts according to the command of the user. which serves the purpose of the user. therefore it is called as "servo" motor
Is it possible to control an electric motor with a servo or servo connector?
NO
Is a stepper motor with feedback loop a servo motor?
No, stepper and servo motor are by mechanical design two different types of motors.

What is servo and stepper motor?
A servo motor uses position and/or velocity feedback to control its position and/or velocity. A stepper motor, on the other hand, uses magnetic detents to allow positioning to known positions based on pulses received from the driver.
