DC Servo Motor :
One of the most common device for actuating a control system is DC Servo
Motors shown in Figure1 and can be operation under either armature or field
control.

Now , the air gap flux Ф is proportional to field current if as given in Eq.(1):
Ф = 𝐾𝑓𝑑 𝑖𝑓 … … … … … … . . (1)
Where Kfd is the field coil constant.
Also the torque is proportional to the air gap flux and armature current ia as
given in Equation (2):

Since If is constant :
The back emf is proportional to the speed of the motor as given in Equation (5):
𝑑∅
𝑒𝑏 = 𝑘𝑏 = 𝑘𝑏 𝑤(𝑡) … … … … … … … … … . . (5)
𝑑𝑡
where Kb is the back emf constant.
The potential difference across the armature winding is given by Equation (6):
𝑑𝑖
𝑒𝑎 − 𝑒𝑏 = 𝑅𝑎 𝑖𝑎 + 𝐿𝑎 … … … … . … … … … (6)
𝑑𝑡
where ea is the armature voltage.
Now, taking Laplace transforms of equation (6) with zero initial conditions:
Regarding to Equations (4),(5) and (7), The block diagram of armature controlled
DC servo motor is designed, as shown in Figure 4.

In this instance, the back emf eb does not play a part in the torque equation,
but it can produce difficulties in maintaining a constant armature current ia.
The potential difference across the field coil is given :
𝑑𝑖𝑓
𝑒𝑓 (𝑡) = 𝑅𝑓 𝑖𝑓 + 𝐿𝑓 … … … … … … … (10)
𝑑𝑡
Now , take Laplace transformer with Zero initial:
Regarding to Equations (9) and (11), The block diagram of field controlled DC
servo motor is designed, as shown in Figure 7.
