Overview of Differences between Servo and Stepper Motor Technology

Each technology has its niche, and since the selection of either of these technologies for a given application affects its chance of success, it is important for the machine designer to select the best motor-drive system for the application, while considering the technical advantages and disadvantages of both. I make an autobridge system based on Arduino with servo and stepper motor. This paper presents an overview of different baseline capabilities for selection criteria between stepper and servo technology. A thorough understanding of these technologies will help generate the best and most efficient mechatronic designs to bring forth the full capability of a machine
