In this second edition of Industrial Servo Control Systems, the chapters have
been updated and expanded and a new chapter has been added on servo
compensating techniques. The book continues to be dedicated to the
practicing engineer making the transition from academic theory to the realworld
solution of engineering problems related to the application of servo
drives to industrial machines.
Part I focuses on the evolution and classification of servos, with
descriptions of servo drive actuators, amplifiers, feedback transducers,
performance, and troubleshooting techniques. Part II discusses system
analogs and vectors, with a review of differential equations. The concept of
transfer functions for the representation of differential equations is
discussed in preparation for block diagram concepts. Discussion of the
mathematical equations for electric servo motors has been expanded to
include both DC and brushless DC servo motors. The equations for
mechanical and electrical time constants are derived with additional analysis
on the effects of temperature on these time constants.
