Brushless Servo Motors

Brushless servo motors are used when an industrial application requires high performance and precise speed regulation. Brushless servo motors are manufactured with a designated controller known as a servo drive or servo driver. Brushless servo motors use position feedback to precisely regulate motor control by being paired with an encoder. Encoders measure a brushless servo motor’s output […]
