• Program Timings:
  • Training programs are held from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM and include coffee break sessions during lectures.

About this course

A servomechanism, or servo for short, is a type of automatic control system using feedback for precise positioning or for speed control of a motor. Servos and their drives are found in many industrial applications including robotics and machine speed control.

A servomechanism is a type of automatic control system used for feedback, precise positioning, or speed control of a motor. Servos and their drives are found in robotics as well as machine speed control. In this course you will learn the ins and outs of servo drives, servo components, and servo motors.

In this course on servo drive fundamentals, you will learn about:

• The operations and functions of an AC servo drive
• The specifics of a servo drive system
• The different servo components, including: AC to DC converters, DC to AC inverters, feedback devices, power supplies, PPCs, and the servo motor
• Servo operation including SCRs, functions, and gain and bandwidth control
• Feedback signals

Knowledge checks in between lessons will quiz you on what you have learned so far from the modules. A summary and final test is offered at the end of the course to calculate how well you understand what you have learned. With over 30 minutes of material, this course by Technology Transfer Services provides you with a great amount of useful information. Get started now and increase your knowledge on servo drive fundamentals.

Suitable for anyone who is required to maintain or configure stepper or servo systems (electricians, instrument technicians etc). Whilst a knowledge of basic electrical principles is desirable, no prior knowledge of motor theory or electronics is necessary.
