What’s the difference between torque mode and velocity mode in servo control?
Servo systems are used when the application calls for precise control of position, velocity, or torque — or a combination of the three. Depending on the parameter being controlled, the servo system can be operated in torque mode, velocity mode, or position mode. Each mode requires control loops that allow the servo drive and controller […]
