Servo Systems

Delta is a leading manufacturer of high performance servo motors and drives, with a global reach plus a growing reputation for innovative motion control solutions. Our Delta servo ranges include the ASDA-B3 range, ideal for 1ph/230VAC mains supplies, offering a variety of features and functions. The ASDA-A3 range is designed for more demanding, higher power applications, particularly where the supply is 3ph/400VAC. Both ranges of motors seamlessly fit to our linear actuator and belt actuator products. Combined with our Sesame planetary gearboxes, flexible couplings, and aluminium extrusion, a cost- effective, high quality gantry system can easily be constructed.

What is a servo system?

A servo motor is a highly dynamic and high precision electric motor used in motion control applications. They provide high speed motion, with precise control, in terms of angular position, acceleration and velocity. Servo systems are designed to be used in dynamic or high precision applications and consist of a servo motor, servo drive and associated cables. Other components of the system often include a planetary gearbox, PLC or motion controller and a touch panel display.

What is a servo system consist of?

• Servo Motor:
  • A highly dynamic electric motor to provide high rotational speed and accurate positioning.
• Servo Drive:
  • A power amplifier which takes mains power and converts this to a high frequency PWM waveform, and accurately controls the speed and position of the servo motor.
• Planetary Gearbox:
  • A high precise gearbox, which multiplies the motor torque, to optimise performance and size, whilst minimising backlash, to ensure accurate speed control and positioning
• PLC or Motion Controller:
  • A controller which provides the overall control of the servo system to suit the application requirements in terms of position, speed and duty cycle.

• Touch Panel:
  • A user interface which enables the machine operator to enter product information, conduct diagnostics, handle product recipes and log machine data.

Benefits of a Servo System

Servo systems are designed to offer superior performance and control compared to more conventional motion control systems, such as AC motors, DC motors, stepper motors, hydraulics and pneumatics. The key benefits that servo systems offer include:

• Dynamic motion
• High positional accuracy
• Low cogging torque
• Wide speed range
• Constant rated torque across speed range
• Highly efficient and reliable
• Compact size
