Servo Types
 
From Control Technology Corporation
 

 
No matter what is dealt with in life, it seems that it must be named and classified-servos are no exception. Servos are classified into three types: type 0, type 1, and type 2. This column will be devoted to discussing these three types plus the advantages and disadvantages of each.

Products & Services
Piezoelectric motors use a piezoelectric ceramic element to produce ultrasonic vibrations of an appropriate type in a stator structure. The consequent movement can either be rotational or linear depending on the design of the structure.
Servo valves provide closed loop flow or pressure response to an electrical or electronic control signal. They are used in air, gas, and liquid applications.
NEMA and IP enclosures are used to house and protect electrical devices and electronic components. NEMA enclosures are rated by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) and designed for hazardous or non-hazardous locations and indoor or outdoor use. Ingress protection (IP) enclosures provide protection against foreign objects and moisture.
Wireways and cable troughs are designed to protect electrical wires from dust, dirt, water and oil.
Modular enclosures consist of smaller components that can be assembled to create custom enclosures, often for temporary or mobile systems. These modular components are available in standard sizes and allow modular enclosures to be used for a variety of purposes.
