Where can we use a servo motor?

The servo motor is an industrial control actuator with precise displacement. It can be used in almost all kinds of industrial control projects. Next, let’s briefly take a look at the application fields of servo motors:


1. Automated production line: Servo motors can be used to drive assembly lines, robotic arms, handling equipment, etc. and for automated product packaging/bottling and labeling, among others.


2. Logistics and transportation industry: For example, in large storage warehouses, there are many AGV vehicles used for transportation and deployment of goods, and they use servo motors for movement and steering.


3. Microelectronics production and processing: For example, the production of various types of chips requires mechanical arms driven by servo motor.


4. Robot technology: Servo motors are an indispensable part of robot technology. They are used for joint drive, arm movement, etc. of robots. They can achieve complex actions and precise motion control, giving robots higher flexibility and accuracy.


5. Camera autofocus: The high-precision servo motor built into the camera can correct the camera lens to sharpen out-of-focus images.


6. Solar tracking system: The servo motor adjusts the angle of the solar panels throughout the day so that each panel continues to face the sun, maximizing energy utilization from sunrise to sunset.


7. Automated processing equipment: Automated processing equipment usually needs to control parameters such as rotation speed, acceleration, power, etc., and servo motors can easily realize these functions. In automated processing equipment, servo motors can be used in precision grinders, drilling machines, lathes, cutting machines, cutting tables and other systems.


8. Textile machinery: The application of servo motors in textile machinery is mainly used for drive and control in manufacturing processes such as spinning, weaving, printing and dyeing.


9. Press/Printer: Servo motors stop and start the print head precisely on the page and move the paper to print multiple lines of text or graphics precisely.


10. Automatic door openers: Supermarket and hospital entrances are prime examples of automatic door openers controlled by servo motors, whether the door opening signal is sent through a push plate next to the door for disabled people or through a radio transmitter located overhead.


11. Aircraft field: For example, in aircraft aviation control systems, servo motors can be used in systems such as wing control, automatic navigation, and flight control stability.


12. Intelligent transportation: Servo motors are used in signal lights, vehicle navigation, automatic driving, etc. in intelligent transportation systems to improve the efficiency and safety of traffic flow through precise control and response capabilities. ​


13. Clean energy: Servo motors play an important role in the clean energy industry, such as solar tracking devices, wind power equipment, etc., used to accurately adjust the angle of solar panels and wind turbines to maximize the capture and utilization of renewable energy.
