Brushless servos keep inertia low

    Jan. 22, 2004
    Brushless dc servomotors from Servo Magnetics, Canoga Park, Calif. (www.servomag.com), come in 22 and 36-mm frame sizes. Motor lengths can be customized to meet specific requirements in X-Y positioning tables, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, high-speed servomechanisms, flow-control valves, and other industrial-process equipment.
