Moteurs et régulateurs d’entraînement Festo

Les moteurs ont de nombreuses possibilités d’utilisation dans les secteurs les plus divers. Mais à quoi sert le régulateur d’entraînement ? Le régulateur d’entraînement commande les modes de fonctionnement du moteur. Avec le moteur, ils constituent l’interface entre la mécanique et la commande : ils peuvent donc être considérés comme la pièce maîtresse de tout système de commande de mouvement. Leur tâche consiste ici à indiquer au moteur ce qu’il doit faire en fonction du résultat de production souhaité, à quelle fréquence et à quelle vitesse. Dans l’industrie, la sécurité, la précision et la fiabilité du système d’entraînement sont des priorités absolues. Vous trouverez chez nous un grand choix de moteurs et de régulateurs d’entraînement répondant aux exigences les plus diverses. Configurez maintenant votre solution de servo-entraînement ensemble à l’aide de l’outil d’ingénierie Electric Motion Sizing, indépendamment de votre environnement de commande et de ses fabricants. Avec l’Automation Suite de Festo, vous mettez ensuite votre système d’entraînement en service rapidement et facilement.

Suitable servo drives and motors for every application

In addition to the standard and the products from our core range, we also carry a number of other products in a variety of categories:

All our products are attractively priced and versatile. We offer motors and servo drives that are optimally suited for accelerating or decelerating in the millisecond range. Our Festo products are also ideal for the precise control of position, speed and torque or for controlling and maintaining specific positions with the highest possible precision.

Application areas of servo motors

Festo servo motors are often used in sectors or industries that rely on high precision, flexibility and reliability. Examples of this include:

  • Plastics manufacturing
  • Textile manufacturing
  • Packaging systems
  • Robotics
  • E-Mobility
  • Medical technology
  • Metal fabrication
  • Printing technology
  • Conveyor technology

Thanks to their dynamics, flexibility, precision and high performance, they are frequently used in the packaging industry and assembly technology. In plastics or medical technology, servo motors are also used to execute precise movements with a reaction time of just a few microseconds. Servo motors and suitable controllers are also required in metal production and processing in order to carry out drilling, bending or cutting of metals precisely and automatically.

Advantages of servo motors and motor controllers

The use of servo motors and suitable motor controllers offers many advantages in production. Especially in automation processes, servo motors can exploit their full potential. The following advantages speak for the use of servo motors in combination with the appropriate motor controllers:

  • More safety: Servo motors and Motor controllers offer the possibility to switch off electric motors simultaneously via a central point in case of emergency.
  • Flexible module technology: The flexible module technology of servo controllers allows multiple servo motors to be easily added on to operate asynchronously. They can be integrated on a highly individual level into systems or used to develop completely new systems.
  • Maximum precision: Speeds and torques can be precisely controlled and maintained based on pre-determined targets. The speed can also be adjusted to a target value in a fraction of a second.
  • Intelligent controllers: Automation and connectivity via a bus system are possible directly with the drive. Data can also be processed directly in the drive system itself, e.g. for process optimization.
  • Increased efficiency: Servo motors can be optimized to deliver high performance at the lowest possible energy cost. Servo motors also require little maintenance and have a long service life.

What is a servo drive?

A servo drive, also known as a motor controller, is an electronic device essential for managing and controlling motor performance in electrical and mechanical systems. It acts as the motor’s command center, adjusting key parameters such as speed, torque, rotation direction, and position according to the specific requirements of each application.

By processing control signals or feedback from sensors, the servo drive not only regulates the motor’s power input but also optimizes its performance in real time. This ensures high precision and efficiency, making it indispensable in industrial applications that require strict control and reliable performance.

How do motor controllers work?

Motor controllers (servo drives) receive commands from control systems or sensor feedback, interpreting this data to adjust the energy supplied to the motor. This allows the controller to automatically regulate motor operation according to the specific application requirements, whether by increasing speed, reducing torque, or positioning the motor with extreme precision.

Additionally, servo drives are programmable, allowing their functionality to be customized and adapted to the specific needs of each industry. This flexibility is a key advantage in sectors requiring high precision and control, such as industrial automation, robotics, and advanced manufacturing.

What is the difference between servo motors and motor controllers?

Servo motors and motor controllers (servo drives) are interdependent components within motion control systems, but they serve different functions:

  • The servo motor is the mechanical component that generates movement. It is characterized by its high precision and fast response, converting electrical signals into mechanical energy, either rotary or linear. It also provides the torque necessary to maintain a stable position and execute highly accurate movements in industrial applications.
  • The motor controller (servo drive) is the brain of the system, regulating the power supplied to the servo motor and adjusting variables such as speed, torque, and position. Its programmable and adjustable design allows for performance customization according to the specific requirements of each application, ensuring precise and efficient control.

In other words, the servo motor executes movement, while the servo drive dictates how it should move. Without a controller, the servo motor could not function with the precision required in applications such as robotics, industrial automation, or CNC machinery.

This relationship between both components is key to achieving efficient and highly controlled motion systems in the industry.

What is an electric motor?

An electric motor is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, transforming electricity into motion. It operates through the interaction between magnetic fields and electrical currents, generating the force needed to drive machines and equipment.

Unlike a servo motor, a conventional electric motor does not have an integrated position control system. While standard electric motors simply rotate when they receive power, servo motors allow precise control of position, speed, and torque through interaction with a servo drive.

What is the function of an electric motor?

Electric motors are used to automate industrial processes, drive conveyor belts, operate pumps, power machine tools, ventilators, compressors, and more. They are present in almost every industrial sector, as well as in household applications such as home appliances.

However, when precise motion control is required, servo motors and servo drives are the best choice compared to traditional electric motors.
