True or false: a servo motor is simply an ordinary motor with feedback added.

  • A.True, since any machine becomes a servo once an encoder has been fitted
  • B.True, provided the machine is of the permanent magnet type
  • C.False, since a servo motor requires no feedback of any kind
  • D.False, since it is designed for low inertia and a linear characteristic

Answer: D

Correct answer: False, since it is designed for low inertia and a linear characteristic

Fitting an encoder to an ordinary machine gives feedback but not the dynamic response a servo application needs. A servo machine is built for the purpose - a long slender rotor for low inertia, a linear torque-speed characteristic, high peak torque and a construction that tolerates rapid reversal.
