10. Stepper MotorStepper Motor

11. Dc brushless motor
Digital pulse is converted into rotary
motion.
It is an open loop system

12. Operating principle
A stepper motor is a type of DC motor which has a full rotation
divided in an equal number of steps.
There is stator winding and a permanent magnet at the centre
of windings.
When electric current is passed through winding it starts acting
as an electromagnet and the permanent magnet moves.
The position of the rotor is controlled by the attractive and
repulsive forces.

14. Advantages
Control is achieved at low cost
High torque at startup and low speed
Simple construction
Can operate in open loop control system
Low maintenance

15. Disadvantage
Low torque at high speed
Requires a dedicated control circuit
Should not be used for high performance or
high load applications.

16. Servo Motor

17. Servo Motors
A servomotor is a simple electrical motor controlled
with the help of servomechanism.
Servo motors are functional with the sensor feedback.
The input to its control is signal either in the analog or digital form
Servo motors are primarily used where speed, power , noise level
as well as velocity and positional accuracy.

18. Servo
motors
DC brush

AC servo
motors

19. DC Brush Servo motors:
The brush refers to the brushes which passes the electric current to the rotor ,
the rotating part of the motor. In DC Servo motor each coil is angularly displaced
from one another so when the torque drops off from one coil it automatically
switches to the another coil as to produce the maximum torque. This switching is
done by the brushes and a commutator present in the motor.
AC Servo motors:
Its physical construction is similar to that of the DC Servo motor but there are no
magnets in the AC Servo motor. But both the rotor and the stator are
constructed from coils. These are capable of delivering very high torque at very
high speed. There are no brushes in this type of motors which means they are
maintenance free.

20. Working Principle
Motor is controlled by a feedback signal generated by comparing output signal and the reference
input signal.
Reference input signal is applied to the system and compared with output signal of the system and
thus a third signal is generated by feedback system.
This third signal acts as input signal to the device. This input signal to the device is present as long
as there is a logical difference between reference input signal and output signal of the system.
After achieving the desired output there will be no longer logical difference between the input
signal and the output signal of the system.
Now the feedback signal is not enough to produce further output until the next reference input
signal is provided.

21. Advantages

23. Encoders
An encoder is a device, circuit,
transducer, software program,
algorithm that converts
information from one format or
code to another, for the purposes
of standardization.

26. Recirculating ball screw

27. The recirculating ball steering mechanism contains a
worm gear inside a block with a threaded hole in it.
This block has gear teeth cut into the outside to
engage the shaft.
They convert sliding friction into rolling friction.

28. Advantages
wear will be reduced
reliability of the system will be increased
the efficiency of ball screws may reach up to
90%.

There is no axial movement of the rollers
relative to the nut.
The rollers are threaded with a single
start thread.
