Choosing a Servo

Choose one of the three Yaskawa servo motors and review the options, then click to find more data on a specific model.

THE THREE TYPES

The most common servo motor is the standard ROTARY type, which rotates the shaft coupled to a load. Other applications benefit from a DIRECT DRIVE type, which eliminates the shaft and couples directly to the load. Users wishing to control linear motion can choose from LINEAR servo motors that produce straight-line movements without the need for added gearing or belts.
