Servo is a performance term, generally as long as the approximation of the main command and control results reaches a certain height, it can be called servo, which is not directly related to the structure of the machine. This is specifically developed to precisely control the motor, and the "servo" has been specially developed.

Is the steering engine a servo motor or a stepper motor? Is the servo a servo motor?

The relationship between servos, servo motor and stepper motor

  Stepper motor: It is an open-loop control element stepper motor device that converts the electrical pulse signal into angular displacement or line displacement.

Servo motor: rely on the servo control circuit to control the speed of the motor, and control the rotation position through the sensor.

Servo: The main component of the servo is the servo motor.

What is a servo?

  Servo originally refers to a large deck machinery on the ship, it is indeed some later people who play ship models, model aircraft and small robots to refer to the servo motor they use, they call the motor they use "servo", so the servo does not refer to a certain kind of motor, the servo mainly refers to the DC servo motor, the servo motor is called servo motor after changing the package, so it is not surprising that the word servo motor in English is called servo motor.

What is a servo motor?

  Servo motor: There are two types of servo motors: AC servo motors and DC private service motors. Definition of servo motor: servo motor is also called execution motor, it has a function of obeying the requirements of the control signal and acting, before the signal comes, the rotor is stationary;

As soon as the signal arrives, the rotor turns; The signal disappears, and the rotor can automatically stop in time. It gets its name because of the performance of this "servo".
