AC Servomotors: Overview and Applications

AC servomotors use two phase induction motors that operate at frequencies between 50-400Hz. They have two windings on the stator displaced by 90 degrees, with one winding receiving a constant voltage and the other receiving a variable control voltage 90 degrees out of phase. The rotor is either a squirrel cage or drag cup type to provide torque. AC servomotors are lightweight, robust, reliable and smooth operating. They are used in applications requiring angular positioning such as remote control devices and tracking systems.

Overview

Servo motors are used for angular


positioning, such as in radio control
airplanes.

The output shaft of a servo does not rotate


freely, but rather is made to seek a
particular angular position under electronic
control.

The basic principle of operation is the

same as that of other electromagnetic


motors.

Types of servo motor

AC servo Motor

These are used in low power servo mechanism.


It is a two phase induction motor.
power varies from fraction watt to few
hundred watts.
Operating frequency is 50 Hz to 400 Hz.

Construction (Stator)

The stator carries two winding ,


uniformly distributed and displaced by 90
degree.
One winding is called main winding or
fixed winding or reference winding.
this winding is excited by a constant
voltage a.c. supply.
The other winding is control winding
which is excited by variable control
voltage.
this voltage is 90 degree out of phase
with respect to the reference winding.

Rotor (Squirrel Cage )

This has small diameter and large length.


Aluminium conductors are used to keep weight small.
Its resistance is very high to keep torque speed
characteristics as linear as possible.

Drag Cup Type Rotor

There are two air gap in such a construction which reduce


inertia.
These are used in low power application.
Aluminum is used for cap construction.

Torque speed characteristics

Features and Application

Light in weight.
Robust construction
Reliable and stable operation.
Smooth and noise free operation.
large torque to weight ratio.
Large R/X Ratio.
No brushes or slip rings hence maintenance free.

Use
1. Servomechanism
2. Remote positioning device
3. Tracking system.
