This video discusses servo motors and how they work.

It explains that
servo motors are commonly used in closed loop systems for precise
position control in industrial and commercial applications. The video
also mentions that servo motors are part of a self-contained electrical
device that rotates parts of a machine with high efficiency and
precision.

 Servo motors are part of closed loop systems used for precise
position control.
 They consist of several parts including a control circuit, servo
motor, shaft, amplifier, and encoder or resolver.
 Servo motors are self-contained electrical devices that rotate
parts of a machine with high efficiency and precision.
 They can move the output shaft to a particular angle, position,
and velocity.
 Servo motors utilize a regular motor coupled with a sensor for
positional feedback.
 The controller is the most important part of the servo motor and
is designed specifically for this purpose.
 Servo motors incorporate positional feedback to control
rotational or linear speed and position.
 The motor is controlled with an electric signal, either analog or
digital, which determines the amount of movement.
 Encoders serve as sensors providing speed and position
feedback.
 Servo motors are classified into different types based on their
application, such as AC servo motors and DC servo motors.
 AC and DC motors have different abilities to control speed.
 DC servo motors can be commutated mechanically with brushes
or electronically without brushes.
 Brushed motors are generally less expensive and simpler to
operate, while brushless designs are more reliable and efficient.
 AC motors are generally brushless and can have a synchronous
or asynchronous rotating field.

 Servo motors are commonly used in military applications for
controlling robotic vehicles used in bomb detection.
 They are also used in metal cutting and forming machines for
precise motion control in milling, lathes, and metal fabrication.
 Servo motors are used in antenna positioning systems to control
precision in azimuth and elevation.
 AC servo motors are commonly used in servo applications that
require high precision and high repetitions.
 Brushless DC motors are often used in servo systems for their
reliability and efficiency.
 Synchronous motors have a fixed speed determined by the
frequency of the supply voltage and the number of magnetic
poles.
