When choosing a specific model for your application, there are a few general features you should look out for. These include high performing and low cogging magnets, made from either neodynium-iron-boron or a similar material, a rugged and washable outer construction, tough aluminium housing and convenient mounting configurations.

 

If you are looking for a machine that works rapidly, efficiently and can be easily put to use in a variety of different applications, then you should look for a model that offers features such as plug and play commissioning, flexible communication options and efficient power levels. If possible, you should also consider the size of your machine and the efficiency, productivity and usability consequences that differing sizes of servo motor will have. A smaller package is often preferable for reasons of efficiency and multi-functionality.

 

When looking for a machine that is consistently and reliably precise, you should look for a model with inbuilt maintenance processes and a durable design. This will not only ensure precise positioning but should also minimise breakdowns and related downtime, as well as money spent on repairs. Other features that aid high accuracy in positioning and operation are guards against backlash, high peak torque capacities and a low inertia rate, all of which ensure the servo motor can perform in even the most demanding situations.

 

These highly precise machines are commonly used in industries as diverse as automotive production, textile creation, food and beverage processing, mail sorting and packaging consumer products. The high precision servo motor is therefore indispensable on every assembly line, and is usually responsible for the seemingly magical achievements of modern mechanical procedures. Without the right precision machine, most mass-manufactured products that we use everyday would have a shoddy appearance and an even worse functionality.

 

Servo motor design is continually being developed and improved upon, so it can be advantageous to research the latest achievements of the industry before purchasing a new machine or part for your warehouse or factory. Currently a lot of effort is being put into improving the energy efficiency credentials of industrial processes, with the energy conservative drives being at the centre of newly designed systems. These designs capitalise on the inherent energy efficiency of these machines to produce operating systems that are environmentally friendly and allow for precise, real-time control.
