New generation servomotors

Abstract

During the past couple of years advances in technology have dramatically improved servomotor torque performance, and reduced their size and weight to one third compared to previous servomotors. This article describes the background, explores new opportunities in machine design and highlights new applications using advanced motion control to make the most of this technology.
