  2. Servomechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Servomechanism

    Following a specified motion trajectory is called servoing, [4] where "servo" is used as a verb. The servo prefix originates from the Latin word servus meaning slave. [1] The term correctly applies only to systems where the feedback or error-correction signals help control mechanical position, speed, attitude or any other measurable variables. [5]

  3. Brake fade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_fade

    The "gaseous boundary layer" is a hot rod mechanics explanation for failing self servo effect of drum brakes because it felt like a brick under the brake pedal when it occurred. To counter this effect, brake shoes were drilled and slotted to vent gas. In spite of that, drum brakes were abandoned for their self-servo effect.

  4. Servo control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Servo_control

    Servo and receiver connections A diagram showing typical PWM timing for a servomotor. Servo control is a method of controlling many types of RC/hobbyist servos by sending the servo a PWM (pulse-width modulation) signal, a series of repeating pulses of variable width where either the width of the pulse (most common modern hobby servos) or the duty cycle of a pulse train (less common today ...

  5. Servomotor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Servomotor

    A servomotor (or servo motor or simply servo) [1] is a rotary or linear actuator that allows for precise control of angular or linear position, velocity, and acceleration in a mechanical system. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It constitutes part of a servomechanism , and consists of a suitable motor coupled to a sensor for position feedback and a controller ...

  6. Self-steering gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-steering_gear

    The most widespread form of self-steering, the servo pendulum, was introduced to cope with the power required to operate a larger rudder and was a successor to the servo trim tab principle (introduced by Herbert "Blondie" Hasler). Common to all servo pendulum rudder (oar, blade) systems is the fact, that the speed of the boat through the water ...

  8. Synchro - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchro

    A different type of receiver, called a control transformer (CT), is part of a position servo that includes a servo amplifier and servo motor. The motor is geared to the CT rotor, and when the transmitter's rotor moves, the servo motor turns the CT's rotor and the mechanical load to match the new position.
