Industrial Servo Control Systems : Fundamentals and Applications, 2nd Edition

This reference details hardware specifications and servo drive classifications vital to the operation of machine servo drives as well as useful troubleshooting methods for problems such as machine nonlinearities, inertia, drive stiffness, and friction-offering the most recent simulation methods to predict, assess, and improve the performance of servo systems and their components.

Completely revised and expanded throughout, the Second Edition of Industrial Servo Control Systems presents the latest technologies in the calculation of brushless dc motor time constants........updated material on drive sizing....case studies illustrating key topics......new and enhanced discussions on the practice of compensating an industrial servo drive.....and performance indexes for appraisal of servo drive applications....and covers the function and assembly of drive systems....drive resolution and drive rations...duty cycles...and thrust/torque requirements...and addresses the analysis and corrective technqiues for machine dynamics (resonances).
