What is a Servo Motor and How it Works?

Overview

This video explains the working principle of a servo motor and how it is used in industrial automation systems for precise control of position, speed, and torque. It introduces the concept of closed-loop control and the role of feedback in achieving high accuracy.

Servo motors are widely used in applications that require high precision and repeatability, such as robotics and CNC machines.
