FANUC AC / DC Servo Motor
Servo motor is a part of a closed-loop control system and typically consists of a control circuit that provides feedback on the position of the motor shaft, which allows the servo motor to rotate with great precision. A servo motor is made up of a simple motor that runs through a servo mechanism. The two major classifications of servo motors are DC servo motor and AC servo motor. If the motor is powered by a DC power supply, then it would be called a DC servo motor. Likewise, if it’s powered by an AC power supply, it would be called an AC servo motor.
Servo motors typically come with a gear arrangement that allows the users to get high torque servo motors in lightweight packages. Hence, servo motors are often used in robotics applications, CNC machinery, and automated manufacturing.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How servo motor brake works?
A servo motor has an internal brake that can be activated by a signal from the controller. It is a mechanical device that clamps onto the motor shaft, preventing it from rotating and holding the load in a specific position. When the controller sends a signal to stop the motor, the brake is re-energized, stopping the motor quickly and holding the load in place. Some servo motor also have a feature called a “regenerative brake” which allows the motor to convert the kinetic energy of the load into electrical energy and feed it back to the power supply when the motor is stopping. It’s important to note that the brake is not designed to hold the load indefinitely, as this can cause excessive heat build-up and damage the brake.
2. How to repair servo motor?
Repairing a servo motor typically requires knowledge of electrical and mechanical systems, as well as specialized tools and equipment. The first step in repairing a servo motor is to diagnose the problem by checking for issues with the control signal, power supply, or feedback system. If the problem is with the motor itself, it may be necessary to disassemble the motor and inspect the internal components for damage. Common issues that may need to be repaired or replaced include worn or damaged bearings, brushes, or commutators. In some cases, the motor may need to be rewound or replaced entirely. It is important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions and guidelines when repairing a servo motor to ensure proper functioning and to avoid further damage.
