INTERFACING: SERVOMOTOR
Think and Solve
1. If continuous 2 millisecond pulses at 20 millisec-
ond intervals are provided to a servomotor, would
it keep on rotating like any DC motor?
2. List a few appropriate usages of servomotors.
3. Why does a servo need a pulse train?
4. Why feedback is necessary for a servomotor?
5. What would be the direction of a servomotor
against 1.5 milliseconds pulse input?
6. Assuming that it had not reached its terminal posi-
tion, for a 10:1 reduction ratio of gearbox, how far
the output shaft of a servomotor would turn for a
2 milliseconds pulse?
7. What would happen if the stud at output gear is
removed from it?
8. What would happen to a servomotor if it is acti-
vated by 1-millisecond duration ...
