What is a servo motor?

The result is a smaller and therefore generally more lightweight motor. This conserves valuable raw materials, such as copper for the coils, magnetic material for the rotors, and iron for the motor housing. Servo motors have a high efficiency of over 90 percent. A high percentage of the electrical energy supplied is converted into mechanical power.

How efficient is a servo motor?

Servo motors have a high efficiency of over 90 percent. A high percentage of the electrical energy supplied is converted into mechanical power. The remaining 10 percent or so of the electrical output is lost in the form of heat. To prevent the motor from overheating, this heat must be dissipated.

Are servo eccentric presses more energy-efficient?

Wherever rigid components are formed, bent, or separated with high force, users traditionally rely on hydraulic drive power. However, Stefan Hecht, simulation engineer at Baumüller, explains why servo eccentric presses are not only more energy-efficient, but also more economical.

What are servohydraulic drives used for?

Servo-hydraulic drives are used in plastics or metal processing to press vehicle parts, for example. Servo-hydraulics consists of a servo-hydraulic fixed displacement pump driven by a speed-controlled motor, for example a servo motor. In simple applications, an uncontrolled fixed displacement pump provides the necessary drive power.

Why do servo motors need cooling?

Innovative cooling concepts for servo motors reduce the installation space required in the machine. The result is a smaller and therefore generally more lightweight motor. This conserves valuable raw materials, such as copper for the coils, magnetic material for the rotors, and iron for the motor housing.

What is a servo-hydraulic pump?

Servo-hydraulics consists of a servo-hydraulic fixed displacement pump driven by a speed-controlled motor, for example a servo motor. In simple applications, an uncontrolled fixed displacement pump provides the necessary drive power. This generates continuous volume flows, but these are not required at this constant rate.
