Servo motors are used to impose a particular motion on the mechanism model. Servo motors behave like motors, by forcing a specific type of motion to occur between two bodies in a single degree of freedom. You can add a servo motor to a joint axis or a geometric entity, such as part planes, datum planes, and points. You use servo motors to impose a particular motion on a mechanism. Servo motors cause a specific type of motion to occur between two bodies in a single degree of freedom.

Servo motors behave like motors by forcing a specific type of motion to occur between two bodies in a single degree 1 of freedom. You can add a servo motor to a joint axis or a geometric entity such as part planes datum planes and points. You use servo motors to impose a particular motion on a mechanism. Servo motors cause a specific type of motion to occur between two bodies in a single degree of freedom. You add servo motors to your model to prepare it for analysis. Servo motors specify position velocity or acceleration as a function of time and can control either translational or rotational motion. For example a servo motor starts in a specific configuration. After one second another configuration is defined for the model. The difference between the two configurations is the motion of the model. By specifying your servo motor s function such as constant or ramp you can define the motion s profile. You can select from several predefined functions or input your own function. You can define as many servo motors on an entity as you like. Note If you select or define a position or velocity function for your servo motor profile that is not continuous be aware that it will be ignored if you run a kinematics or dynamic analysis. However you can use a discontinuous servo motor profile in a repeated assembly analysis. When you graph a discontinuous servo motor Mechanism Design displays messages indicating the discontinuous points. You can place servo motors on joint axes or on geometric entities such as part planes datum planes and points. You can use the following types of servo motors Joint Axis Servo Motors Use to create a well-defined motion in one direction. Geometric Servo Motors Use to create complex 3D motions such as a helix
