Servo Motor Resources

Servo Repair Information & Electric Motor Resources

• Servo Motor Overview - What are servo motors, and how do they fit into various manufacturing systems? A brief overview of different functions, types, and systems.
• Servo Motor Sizing - Servo motor sizing is an energy balancing act. Done properly, it reduces energy costs, purchasing costs, and operating costs. Plus, it enables the design of better motion control systems. Servo motor sizing also provides considerable cost savings while assuring the best system performance, and can dramatically reduce downtime and the need for servo repair services.
• Servo Motor Compensation - Compensation involves tuning the gain and bandwidth of a servo motor to produce efficient operation and minimal errors.
• How to Size a Servo Motor - Your servo motor needs to be able to provide the required torque, speed, and accuracy in order for an entire system to perform as designed. The right size servo motor for the job is necessary for getting your system up and running and keeping it that way.
• How to Check an A/C Servo Motor - You're probably wondering if the A/C servo motor is going bad but you don't want to remove it from the mount to test it. There are a couple of things you could do to check it first.
• Repairing vs. Replacing Servo Motors - Should you repair or replace a broken servo motor? When a servo goes down, consider these factors when deciding between repairing the motor or buying a new one.
• 15 Easy Ways To Improve Spindle Motor Performance - The spindle is the heart of the machine and for best performance it must be handled with care and be properly maintained. The following list provides 15 easy checks you can make to improve the performance of the motor & reduce your spindle motor repair costs.
• Checking for Bad Windings on Spindle Motors - How to check a spindle motor for bad windings using an ohm meter and megaohm meter.
• Troubleshooting - Servo Systems - Even well-maintained servo motor systems can experience issues during normal operation. From TigerTek's servo repair technicians, here's a list of common issues and potential causes.
• Troubleshooting - Servo Motors - Even with a strict regimen of upkeep and preventative maintenance, a servo motor failure can (and will) happen during routine operation. Here's a list of common problems & some tips on troubleshooting your servo motor.
• Servo Motors vs. Stepper Motors - What's the difference? These two motors are similar, but have variations in their design and performance that makes each motor suited to a different kind of application.
