What is a Servo motor and how does it benefit your printing operation?
AC / DC – the type of current is used
This indicates the inherent ability to control the speed
DC- The speed is directly proportional to the supplied voltage with a constant load
AC - The speed is determined by the frequency of the applied voltage and the number of magnetic poles
AC can withstand higher current, more used more often in jobs where high repetition and high precision is required
Brushed / Brushless
The DC motor can be generally categorized into brushed or brushless. DC can be commutated mechanically with brushes, or electronically without brushes
Brush motors are generally less expensive and simpler to operate. Brushless are generally more reliable, more efficient and less noisy
DC motors generally provides a very accurate and fast response to start or stop command signals
AC Motors are generally brushless
Synchronous / Asynchronous
