    A servo motor consists of a DC, AC, or AC induction motor coupled with a feedback control system. Servo motors are controlled through pulse-width modulation signals that determine the motor's position. Radio-controlled servos are commonly used and inexpensive, ranging from $5-40. They use a geared DC motor and typically require removal of mechanical stops for full 360-degree rotation. Servo motors provide higher rotational torque and maximum RPMs compared to stepper motors, along with positive feedback control, while stepper motors offer higher holding torque and more precise movement.

    Background

    A servo motor is composed of a DC,


    AC, or an AC induction motor and a
    feedback control.

    Servo Motor Control

    DC Servo motors are controlled with


    a PWM signal (square wave)
    In order to accurately hold a position
    servos need a pulse every 20ms
    The duration of the pulse decides
    how far the servo rotates.

    Servo Motor Control

    RC Servos

    Most applicable for our


    uses.
    Cheap ($5-$40)
    Usually consist of a
    geared DC motor
    Need to have
    mechanical stop
    removed for 360
    degree rotation.

    Servo vs. Stepper motor

    Servo Motors provide:

    1.

    Higher rotational torque


    Higher max RPM
    Positive Feedback Control

    2.
    3.

    Stepper Motors provide:

    1.

    Higher holding torque


    More precise movement

    2.
