Best Answer

With a DC motor, power is supplied from a controller and transmitted to the motor windings via brushes and a commutator using pulse width modulation. This requires that the controller be adequate to handle the power/heat of the application and that the brushes and commutator are well maintained as they are wearing parts.

With an AC servomotor, the controller only provides a low power signal to any size motor. Raw power to the motor is handled separately from the control circuit. The control signal is used to control the position of the motor which has internal position sensing capability. Power to the AC servo is always on.

What are the differences between ac servomotor and dc servomotors?

AC servomotors require an alternating current as a power source, meaning they need to be plugged into an outlet, while DC servomotors require a direct current as a power source, meaning they can be run off of battery power.
