servomotor

 

[ หˆsษœหrvษ™(m)oสŠtษ™r ]

Noun
Context #1 | Noun

engineering application

A servomotor is a type of motor that is designed to provide precise control of angular or linear position, velocity, and acceleration. They are commonly used in applications that require high levels of control, such as robotics, conveyor systems, and aircraft.

Synonyms

actuator, motor, servo

Examples of usage

  • The robotic arm uses a servomotor for accurate movements.
  • In drones, servomotors control the pitch and yaw of the propellers.
  • Assembly lines often utilize servomotors to ensure precise placement of components.

Etymology

The term 'servomotor' is derived from the combination of 'servo,' which comes from the Latin word 'servus' meaning 'slave' or 'servant,' and 'motor,' originating from the Latin 'motor,' meaning 'mover' or 'driving force.' The concept of servo control emerged in the early 20th century with advances in electrical engineering. Initially, servomechanisms were used in military applications, particularly in artillery and aircraft, to achieve precision in aiming and control. Over the decades, the development of smaller and more efficient servomotors has enabled their widespread adoption in consumer electronics, robotics, and automation technology, making them an integral part of modern engineering and manufacturing processes.
