My new woodturning lathe uses a two horsepower Servo motor. There's a spinning magnet mounted in the headstock that can detect whether it's slowed down within one millisecond and call for more power from the motor. There is a 300% override capacity for short bursts of speed. An example would be turning a wood bowl and hitting a knot in the wood. The motor can detect the harder knot and calls for more power. It's a pretty slick system.
When I was a high school boy, I used to build remote control airplanes. In these aircraft, servos are used to move the plane's control surfaces. I was always fascinated that such a small motor could generate such enormous torque. Unless you have a very strong grip, you literally could not stop the little servo's rotation (and you might hurt yourself trying). I've always wondered what the engineering was behind such enormous torque. THANK YOU for explaining it in such intuitive detail!
We use them to control the heating/cooling/ventilation flaps in the operator cabins for mining equipment. The servo flaps also go through an automated fully open vs fully closed phase during 'system on' to recalibrate the vent flap positions. This all means we can climate control different areas of the same cabin air volume, such as more cooling in the upper area where the glass panels absord heat on sunny days, and more heat during colder periods. Visa Versa for the floor areas etc. You get the idea ;-)
I encounter servo motors on a daily basis. I’m an industrial maintenance technician for a plastic company. We use servo motors (quite larger than the example) in most of our machines to control movement of materials and movement of machine components.
For some decades I have had friends with R/C planes, boats, & cars. I however never owned any, although I did fly control-line model airplanes in the 1970s. I purchased my first {and to date only} R/C setup in the early 2000s when I built my second KAP {Kite Aerial Photography} rig. Back around 2004 I _'hacked'_ one of my servos to allow 360° continuous rotation. It was THEN -- trying to do that fine detailed work at about the age of 43 -- that I realized I WAS EVENTUALLY GOING TO NEED PRESCRIPTION EYEGLASSES...😊
This is an older style servo. Most new servos now will use a digital control loop. Meaning their controller is a micro computer running a PID closed loop control system. Less overshoot. A traditional servo like this is a proportional only controller.
Most commonly I'll use servos in radio controlled models.....rc planes, rc helicopters and rc cars. I am looking at getting into arduino circuitry and the different uses and probably will see what I can build using servos with that.
To answer your question, late 70's in VoTech school (high school). Then as a AT Metrology USN (AIMD 670) calibrating aviation electronics/equipment test equipment using standard synchro decade boxes etc. Currently RC stuff and projects.
Most of these videos are about things I should know. But watching them often exposes gaps in my knowledge. Like I knew that a servo is a gear motor with some fancy controls, but I didn't know just how they work.
We use them on our model steam engines to control the regulator and reversing gear. They are also used to control a whistle or cylinder drain-cocks and anything else someones ingenuity can think of. I have one controlling the crane on a crane tank engine.
Great Vedio as always!!! Can we get a vedio explaining lab bench power supplies, how to make the most out of them, and what features to look for when buying one? Thanks a bunch!

We had some servos a little big bigger. But basically the same. And they operated small hydraulic spool-valves that ported hydraulic oil to a large ram that operated the main steam valves for a 5000 hp turbine-generator unit. Was always a little freaky that we could twist this little knob in the control room and it moved large valves to generate MWs of electricity.
I've seen one when my brother bought an ardiono (of sort) beginners set. I asked him about this and we had a light argument and he said that I seem to not know how a servo motor works.
I'll tell you exactly where I've seen this and what I'm fixing right now! It is on the Bowflex Max series of exercise machines. The servo motors are always giving out on these models. More correctly, I think it is the electronic side and not the motor or the gears which are having issues. Not sure how to fix this without replacing the whole unit. Bowflex keeps these motors at $20.00 because of the ongoing issues.
Hi sir I learned a lot from your videos, I have a question, do you know what H bridge this servo use? I already searched and couldn't find it. I'm trying to make smaller version of this servo Thanks in advance

Can you make a video about harmonics in power control systems?
can we change dc shunt motor operation to bldc motor to reduce low maintenance? Please let me know sir 🙏🏼

We use servo motors all the time in CNC machines. Ultra precision grinding machines for grinding cams, lobes, and ball bearing rings

I've been using servos like these shown for years in RC aircraft, but they're also used in RC cars and boats.
thank you SO much!!! I never understood servos until this, amazing explanation!

I have 100's of these. I use them on my R/C planes for the control surfaces and R/C cars for steering.
I use them in my rc planes. The servo arms move pushrods which move the control horns that move the control surfaces.

I literally just started looking into servos for my kid’s r/c car steering
We are starting to use servo's in model railroads.

great video
I mainly see them in automobile windshield wiper blade motors.

Servos are used mostly in robotic arms, the more servos we use, the more degrees of freedom we can get
brilliant video. Thanks for creating!

That amount of torque... holy balls.
I learned a lot. Thank you.
All Geared up!! Love that you do, Brother.
As always very interesting I was wondering if you would do a video on how large ships distribute the power throughout their vessel... food for thought
keep doing this video and make the blueprints knowledge your logo
ALL GEAR UP!
Many thanks for this useful information and videos.

What does the name "servo" mean?
please do a video on op amp
Hi sir I learned a lot from your videos, I have a question, do you know what H bridge this servo use? I already searched and couldn't find it. I'm trying to make smaller version of this servo Thanks in advance

Can you explained PSU atx pc 450watt, please 🙂
great job!
Good info.
When would an encoder be used in this instance 🤔💡⚙
Superb
all geared up!
How does Missiles Fins works at supersonic speed
Explain what is pulse converter ?
Converts the pulse width to voltage.
@@loc4725 thanks :)
What about continuous servos
So we can do by pwm

Any thing remote controlled
👍👍👍
