Definition
Adjective:
- Of or involving servomechanisms: Relating to or constituting a type of automatic control system that uses feedback to precisely govern the position, speed, or other output of a mechanism.
Noun:
- A control system that converts a small mechanical motion into one requiring much greater power; may include a negative feedback system: A device, often a motor (a servomotor), that is part of a servomechanism. It automatically corrects the performance of a machine using error-sensing feedback.
Usage Examples
Adjective:
- The robotic arm uses a servo mechanism for precise movement.
- He installed a servo amplifier to improve the control loop.
Noun:
- The model airplane's wing flaps are controlled by a small servo.
- A feedback signal from the sensor adjusts the servo.
Advanced Usage
"servo-controlled": Describes a system or component whose operation is automatically regulated by a servomechanism.
- The servo-controlled valve maintains constant pressure.
"servo loop": Refers to the complete closed-loop control circuit, including the servo, sensor, and controller.
- Stability is critical in the design of the servo loop.
Variants and Related Words
- Servomechanism (n): The complete automatic control system that includes a servo.
- Servomotor (n): The specific motor that provides the power in a servo system.
- Servosystem (n): Another term for a servomechanism.
Synonyms
- Actuator (n): A device that causes a machine to operate, but not necessarily with feedback control.
- Feedback controller (n): A general term for a control system using feedback.
Related Phrases
- Servo drive: A combination of components that powers and controls a servomotor.
- Servo feedback: The signal returned to the controller to report the servo's actual status.
