Servo Motor Information
(OP)
Does anyone know of a non-manuafacturer's website for servo motor application information. I am looking for a little free online education that is general and not geared to any one peticular manufacturer's product line.

I was hoping that there was something similar to a FAQ in one of the forums for Servo Motors.

RE: Servo Motor Information
The answer is yes. I am very familiar with gearmotors and inverter driven speed control and have used it with everything from 1/3 to 200 HP. I am comfortable looking at applications from an inverter point of view. There have been a couple of projects that I've come across in the past couple of years where the speed and positional requirements were borderline inverter/gearmotor vs. a servo and we ended up shying away from servos due to cost per axis. I have recently come across another application where this is the case again. A rotary index table that could go either way, but I've just been introduced to the Baldor line of servo motors and controllers. This product line cost per axis is relatively close to the same as the inverter/gearmotor option, including positional sensing, etc. This has led me to try to educate myself and get comfortable with the possible applications and features.
