What is Servos?
Servos are rotary actuators or linear actuators that allow for precise control of angular or linear position, velocity, and acceleration. They typically consist of a motor coupled to a sensor for position feedback. Servos are commonly used in robotics, CNC machines, and remote-controlled devices for precise movements.
What other technologies are related to Servos?
Servos Competitor Technologies
linear actuators
Linear actuators provide linear motion, similar to servos with linear guides. While servos are often rotary, they can accomplish linear motion through mechanical linkages. Linear actuators are a direct alternative for linear motion applications.
steppers
Stepper motors are an alternative positioning system to servos. They are typically lower cost but offer lower performance than servos.
solenoids
Solenoids provide linear motion in a simple, on/off fashion. They can be used for simpler positioning tasks, which compete with basic servo applications.

Servos Complementary Technologies
Allen Bradley Centerline MCCs
No summary available
Motor Control Centers (MCCs) like Allen Bradley Centerline MCCs can house and control the power and control circuitry for servos, making them a complementary technology.
VFDs
Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) control the speed of AC motors. While servos can control speed and position more accurately, VFDs can be used to drive the motors that actuate servos, especially in high-power applications. They are frequently alternatives in specific applications but can also be components within a larger servo system.
drives
Servos need drives to function; the drive is the amplifier that controls the motor.
