We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Servomotor",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Cantilever axes provide precise positioning from
Festo, which we summarised at the time by saying "Axes are based on an open platform design that allows OEMs and system integrators to use either a Festo servo or stepper motor, or the motor and controller of their choice".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Gear actuator facilities precise vehicle testing from
Heason Technologies Group: "Heason had to develop a compact, zero backlash, precision gear actuator which would allow ABD to offer higher rotation speeds while providing exceptionally smooth motion".
In February 2008, we covered the news from Nord Gear
concerning its Nordac SK500 inverter
- take a look at Frequency inverters help reduce motor size needed
which says: "Nord Gear frequency inverters can allow low-cost AC motor equipment to be used in place of much more expensive motion controller and servomotor based automation".
Take a look also at the news release from Aerotech, High-speed rotary stage offers spindle alternative,
as well as Servo/encoder combo provides precision positioning from Marchant Dice,
and Motion control eases automotive manufacturing from Baldor UK.
