Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between servo drives and VFDs (inverters)?
Servo drives: Closed-loop control with encoder feedback, precise position/speed/torque control, high dynamic response. Ideal for positioning, robotics, synchronized motion. More expensive but offer superior control. VFDs (Inverters): Open-loop control (typically), speed control only, simpler operation. Perfect for pumps, fans, conveyors where precise positioning isn't needed. More cost-effective for constant speed applications. Choose servo for precision motion, VFD for speed control of AC motors.
How do I select the right servo motor size?
Consider: 1) Load inertia - match motor inertia to load (1:1 to 5:1 ratio ideal), 2) Required torque - calculate peak and continuous torque, add 20-30% safety margin, 3) Speed requirements - ensure motor reaches required RPM, 4) Acceleration needs - higher acceleration requires more torque, 5) Duty cycle - continuous vs. intermittent operation. Use Omron's sizing software or consult application engineer. Undersized motors overheat; oversized motors waste energy and cost more.
