Understanding Servo Motors and Their Functions

The video tutorial explains servo motors, which convert electrical energy into mechanical energy for precise control. It covers their applications in robotics and automation, and how they differ from DC motors. The tutorial discusses control methods, torque ratings, and the impact of voltage on performance. It also highlights the physical characteristics of servo motors and provides additional learning resources.

What is the primary function of a servo motor?

• To convert mechanical energy into electrical energy

• To provide constant rotation

• To convert electrical energy into mechanical energy

• To store electrical energy

In what applications are servo motors commonly used?

• Water pumping

• Power generation

• Robotics and automation

• Household appliances

How does a DC motor differ from a servo motor in terms of rotation?

• Servo motors do not rotate

• DC motors rotate constantly

• Servo motors rotate constantly

• DC motors rotate based on signals

What type of servo motor provides the best control?

• Open-loop

• Closed-loop

• No-loop

• Hybrid-loop

What is the typical rotation range of a closed-loop servo motor?

• 90°

• 180°

• 360°

• 270°

What does the weight value on a servo motor represent?

• The speed of the motor

• The actual weight of the motor

• The torque of the motor

• The size of the motor

How is the torque of a servo motor typically measured?

• In kilogram-centimeters

• In kilograms

• In watts

• In meters

What happens to a servo motor when it exceeds its limits?

• It shuts down

• It reverses direction

• It stalls

• It speeds up

How does increasing the voltage affect a servo motor?

• It slows down the motor

• It increases the torque

• It has no effect

• It decreases the torque

What is the relationship between voltage and motor speed?

• Higher voltage increases speed

• Higher voltage stops the motor

• Higher voltage decreases speed

• Voltage has no effect on speed
