About AC Servomotors

AC servomotors are typically permanent magnet synchronous motors that often have low torque-to-inertia ratios for high acceleration ratings. AC servomotors have an output shaft that can be positioned by sending a coded signal to the motor. As the input to the motor changes, the angular position of the output shaft changes as well. Generally, AC servomotors are small but powerful for their size and easy to control. Induction and gearmotor types are some common forms of AC servomotors.

AC Motors
AC motors include single, multiphase, universal, induction, synchronous, and gear motors. They also include servomotors.  
DC Motors
DC motors are most commonly used in variable speed and torque applications. They include brushless and gear motors, as well as servomotors.
DC Servomotors
DC servomotors are generally small and powerful for their size, and easy to control. Common types of DC servomotors include brushless or gear motors.
Gearmotors
Gearmotors consist of an AC or DC motor with an integral gearbox or gear head that steps delivered speed up or down.
Stepper Motors
Stepper motors use a magnetic field to move a rotor in small angular steps or fractions of steps. They provide precise positioning and ease of use, especially in low acceleration or static load applications.
