What Is a Fanuc Servo Motor?
A Fanuc servo motor is a high-performance motor system used for precise motion control in a control system. It is usually used in a closed-loop system with a servo drive, encoder, feedback device, etc. to precisely control the motion of a machine.
How a Fanuc servo motor works: A Fanuc servo motor adjusts the speed, position, and torque of a motor as it rotates by receiving commands from a CNC or PLC control system. It typically relies on feedback loops (such as encoders and resolvers) to adjust the motor’s motion in real time, ensuring that the desired accuracy and performance is achieved.
Difference between servo motors and stepper motors: Unlike stepper motors, servo motors offer higher efficiency and accuracy because they are able to adjust their movements in real time and respond to changes in the load, whereas stepper motors are usually discrete and susceptible to changes in the load.
