Three Types (for us) • Servo motor – PWM sets position, used for R/C planes, cars, etc. – 180° range limit, typically – 5 V supply • Stepper motor – For precise angular control or speed control – Can rotate indefinitely – Lots of holding torque • DC motor – simplest technology; give up on precise control – good when you just need something to SPIN! Phys 124: Lecture 3 2 When any old PWM won’t do • The ...
Actuators Hardware devices that convert a controller command signal into a change in a physical parameter The change is usually mechanical (e.g., position or velocity) An actuator is also a transducer because it changes one type of physical quantity into some alternative form An actuator is usually activated by a low-level command signal, so an amplifier may be required to provide sufficient power to drive the actuator Actuators Mechanism Logical Mechanism Signal Signal Processing Signal Processing Electric Hydraulic Electric ...
