Servo-motor: The motors which respond to the error signal abruptly and accelerate

the load quickly are called the servo- motors. A servo-motor is motor which is a part
of servomechanism. It is typically paired with some type of encoder to provide
positioning and speed feedback and some error correcting device which actuates
the supply signal. The fundamental characteristics to be sought in any servo-motors
1)The motor output torque should be proportional the voltage applied to it. 2) The
direction of the torque developed by the servo- motor should be depend upon the
instantaneous polarity of the control voltage.

A feedback system is a control system which tends to maintain a prescribed relationship

between a controlled quantity and a reference quantity by comparing their functions and using
the difference as a means of control.

3. Electrical feedback control systems rely mainly on electrical energy for operation. Important
characteristics usually required for such a control are 1)fast response, 2)high accuracy,
3)unattended control and 4)remote operation. The essential for such a control are 1)an error
detecting device, 2)an amplifier and 3)error correcting device, as illustrated in following figure.
