• Introduction
• Uses of servo motor
• Components
• Conclusion

3. Introduction
• When we control a motor by means of
servomechanism, it would be referred as
servomotor.
• Servomotor was first developed by Yaskawa in
1960s.
• A servo motor provides accurate and also fast
response.

4. Introduction
• With servomotors we can get high torque in a
small and light weight packages.
• There are two types of servomotors. They are
AC servomotors and DC servomotors.

5. Uses of servomotor
Some of the uses are
• Cameras
• Telescopes
• Antennas
• Elevator technology
• Robotics and conveyor belts for industries
• Toy cars, aeroplanes

• DC motor is a device which converts direct
current electrical energy into mechanical
energy.
• They are simple to install and easy to maintain

9. Optical Rotary Encoder
• An optical rotary encoder is a device which
detects optical signals that have passed
through the slits, converts them into electrical
signals.
• It has a light source (LED), light sensor and a
disk called optical disk with slits.

10. Optical Rotary Encoder
• The light source is typically an LED. Instead of
using a visible light, an infrared light is usually
transmitted.
• The light sensor is a photodiode which is
sensitive to infrared light.
10

11. Optical Rotary Encoder
• A disk used is placed between the light source
and the light sensor. It is connected to the
shaft of the motor.
• As the disk is rotated, light passes through a
translucent slots and is blocked by the opaque
areas between the slots.

13. Motor driver and Arduino
• A motor driver acts as an interface between a
motor and control circuit.
• The Arduino microcontroller doesn’t provide
high output power
• The motor driver helps in providing sufficient
power to the motor.

• It was required to built a servo motor with
wide rotation angle and high torque.
• We have used a DC motor with gearbox,
motordriver and an optical encoder.

16. • While the cost of a servo motor increases as
the rotation range gets wider.
• Therefore a servomotor using an optical rotary
encoder will reduce the cost.
