Many of the products that we use each day rely on automation for production. The machines behind these products are technologically advanced and require multiple electromechanical components to maintain accuracy, quality and high-volume output.
One of the key components found within these machines is the electric servo motors designed to deliver superior speed, position and torque control in a powerful, compact package. In this blog, Parker covers the basics of servo motor technology and covers the motor products that help machine builders achieve their required levels of performance.

In industrial environments, holding a component in place is rarely as simple as stopping movement. Machines vibrate, loads shift, and operators interact with equipment in ways that introduce constant, variable forces. In these conditions, a rigid locking system can actually work against long-term performance by transferring shock directly into surrounding structures. Elastic locking offers a more practical solution by holding position while still managing the energy created by real-world operation. Learn more here.
