Servo Motor Comparison (Click Link)

Check out how LS Mecapion compares against Panasonic and Yaskawa. There’s several categories to compare each servo motor with, including: Rated Output (W), Voltage (V), Encoder Type, Max Torque (N.m.), etc…






Since 1973, Mavilor SA have designed and manufactured high performance industrial servomotors which include DC Brush and AC Brushless, in conventional square and axial air gap pancake formats. The new slot-less, ironless core motors provide coggless performance for very demanding medical, simulator and other industrial applications. High torque to inertia ratios and smooth, non-cogging low speed velocity control make Mavilor the intelligent motor of choice for the most exacting applications.

Tips on Choosing a Motor!
Motors should be sufficient at the highest speed required by the application; exceeding the torque required by the application will overheat the motor. Reaching a high toque at a low speed in the beginning stages does not necessarily mean the motor is being utilized efficiently. To effectively measure a motors suitability with an application, one should look at power rather than torque.



Trivia

Ever wonder how DC Motors work? Electric motors are inside all kinds of ordinary devices, using a power source to make motion. Below you’ll find what makes the motor go 'round!

1) The basis of an electric motor is a magnet - In an electric motor, a central magnet spins, creating motion. This motion is behind everything from the turning wheels on a toy car to the starter motor in a real car's engine.

2) Inside a motor, the attraction and repulsion of magnets keeps a bar spinning. This creates rotational motion.

3) The six basic parts of a simple two-pole motor are: the armature, the commutator, the brushes, the axle, a field magnet and a DC power supply.

4) A motor's armature acts as a rotor. The rotor, or armature, is an electromagnet. When electricity moves through the coils of the armature, it creates a magnetic field, and the rotor spins.

5) The two parts of an electric motor that are responsible for changing the direction of the current are the commutator and the brushes - A commutator is basically a switch that comes into contact with the brushes in the motor. At just the right moment, the switch will flip. This ensures that the motor produces steady motion.

6) The axle holds the armature and commutator in place - The motor's axle runs through the armature and commutator. In addition to holding them in place, it allows the armature to spin, creating motion.
