AC Motor – A type of electric motor that runs on alternating current. AC motors are more commonly used in industry than DC motors, but do not operate well at low speeds.
Accuracy – The relative status of something compared to its absolute or perfect value. In motion control this will most often be a position description. For example, a command may be set to 4.0 inches. The accuracy of the system will be defined on how close to the absolute value of 4.0 inches the system can affect the move. Accuracy may be defined as a one-time incident or the average over a number of cycles or motions. Positioning accuracy will normally be defined in terms of deviation (+/- from the theoretical) or limits (acceptable variation from the theoretical: i.e. 3.8 - 4.3 inches define acceptable limits of variation around a theoretical point.
Actual Position – The position of an axis relative to the commanded position. This may be the position at the end of the command move, or the lag between command position at any point during the move and the actual position of the axis at that point. The latter is commonly referred to as following error.

Each axis can consist of a controller, drive, motor, and transmission components necessary to couple to the load.
Axes – Plural of axis.
Backlash – The play caused by loose connections between mechanical components. Backlash becomes a problem when an axis changes direction. When a motor turns, it pushes all the gears together in one direction. When the motor reverses direction the gear teeth separate from one side and meet on the other side. The distance of separation is the backlash.
Ball screw – Ball screws are highly efficient, low-friction and low backlash lead screw devices that use ball bearings rolling in a channel cut into the screw. The low friction and backlash attributes are extremely valuable for precision applications where they are used to drive the axes of the machine.
Brushless Motors – Brushless Motors are a class of motors that operate using electronic commutation of phase currents, rather than electromechanical (brush-type) commutation. Brushless motors typically have a permanent magnet rotor and a wound stator.
Circular Interpolation – The generation of an apparently circular motion through the coordinated movements of two axes. The actual path is a series of straight line approximations generated by software algorithms.

Coordination – The integration of the movements of two or more axes of motion, so that the resultant motion is the path which none of the axes are capable of independently. Coordination may also involve the use of sensors and other internal or external commands in the integration effort which assist in effecting the movement or work desired.
Coupling (Couple, Coupler) – The transfer of energy from one circuit to another by means of the mutual capacitance between them. In feedback and control systems this is considered to be electrical noise and is a common problem.
Cut-to-Length – A sub-routine within a motion control process or a standalone process in which feed material is processed at a preset distance. The distance is set prior to the performance of the task, and/or a secondary task such as a cut-off of the feed material. Feedback systems are employed to ensure repeatability of the preset feed length.
Detent Torque – Detent torque is the holding torque when no current is flowing in the motor.

Encoder – An encoder is a feedback device. It consists of a disc, vane, or reflector, typically attached to a motor shaft to provide digital pulses, which are provided to a translator and /or counters. This provides positional information if fed into a counter. Speed information may be derived if the time between successive pulses is measured and decoded.
Encoder Resolution – The number of electrically identified positions occurring in 360 degrees of input shaft rotation.
Event – A change-of-state of an input parameter, such as the triggering of a limit switch or proximity sensor.
Fault – The error received when a drive or control has attempted an illegal process and becomes disabled.
Feedback – Feedback is the measurement of the parameter that is being controlled. For a positioning system to accurately compensate for an error, the actual position must be known relative to the commanded position. In this case, position feedback would be used to provide the actual position.
Feedback Signal – The actual value detected by a sensor as a process is taking place. The feedback signal is part of a closed-loop control system.
Feedforward – A method that "precompensates" a control loop for known errors due to motor, drive, or load characteristics to improve response. It depends only on the command, not the measured error.
Gantry – An overhead framework that is designed to linearly move in the X, Y, and/or Z axes. Tooling or other devices are generally designed into the framework to perform various functions as it moves from one location to another.
Gearbox – A system of gears that transmits mechanical power from a prime mover, such as an electric motor, to a typically rotary output device at a lower momentum, but a higher torque.

More sophisticated dedicated stepper motor controllers will also have I/O points and various other higher level functions and programmability similar to a PLC. In many cases, a PLC may be used as an Indexer.
Indexing – An axis or axes in the process of moving to a pre-programmed position, at a defined velocity and acceleration/deceleration rate.

Lead Screw – A device that converts rotary motion into linear motion.
Limits – Sensors within a motion system that alert the control electronics that a physical end of travel has approached and that the motion is not allowed in a specific direction.
Linear Actuator – A linear actuator is an actuator that creates motion in a straight line, as contrasted with the rotary motion of a conventional electric motor. Linear actuators are used in machine tools and industrial machinery, in computer peripherals such as disk drives and printers, in valves and dampers, and in many other places where linear motion is required. Hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders inherently produce linear motion; many other mechanisms are used to provide a linear motion from a rotating motor.
Linear Servo Motor – A linear servo motor is a "flattened" servo motor where the rotor is on the inside, and the coils are on the outside of a moveable u-channel.
Linear Slide – Linear slides are precision products designed to turn motion or torque into straight-line movements. Linear slides are designed to move mounted mechanisms across a given axis. Complete slides normally consist of at least a base, a saddle, adjusting screw and a straight gib.
Load – Any external resistance (static or dynamic) to motion that is applied to the motor.
On-Axis Accuracy – Difference between ideal position and real position after the compensation of linear errors. Linear errors include: cosine errors, inaccuracy of screw or linear scale pitch, angular deviation at the measuring point (Abbe error) and thermal expansion effects. The relation between absolute accuracy and on-axis accuracy is as follows:
Absolute Accuracy = On-Axis Accuracy + Correction Factor x Travel
Override – To force an axis to move during a faulted condition; often required to force an axis to move off of an over-travel limit switch.
Phasing – Adjusting the position of one axis with respect to others during synchronization or electronic line shafting. This is usually done while the axes are moving, and done to correct for small registration problems.
Pick and Place – An application in which objects are transferred from one place to another, such as a pill-sorting machine, medical vial (test tube) testing, or air-sample tester.
Pitch – The distance from any point on one thread of the screw to a corresponding point on the next successive thread, e.g. rev/in.
Positioning – Specifying a move by giving a target position, a velocity, and an acceleration rate. The target position can be an absolute position or a relative position from the current position.
Position Control – A type of control system designed for moving objects or machines to a known position. For example: stepper motors are used for position control.
Position Loop – The position loop operates by continuously comparing the target position with the current position. The difference between these two is the position error or following error.
Rated Speed – the speed specified by the manufacturer at which the motor produces its maximum rated power
Rated Torque – The rated torque is the torque-producing capacity of a motor at a given speed. This is usually specified with a torque/speed curve.
Servo Mechanism – A servomechanism may or may not use a servo motor. For example, a household furnace is a servomechanism that is controlled by a thermostat. Once a set temperature is reached, feedback signals the system to shut off, making it a "servo" in nature. The term "servo" describes more of a function or task, than it does a specific product line. The defining feature of a servomechanism is the use of feedback, creating a closed-loop system.
Servo Motor – A servo motor is a motor which is part of a servomechanism. It is typically paired with some type of encoder to provide positioning and speed feedback. A servo motor is an automatic device that uses an error-correction routine to control its motion. The term servo can be applied to systems other than a servo motor; systems that use a feedback mechanism such as an encoder or other feedback device to control the motion parameters. Typically, when the term servo is used, it applies to a 'Servo Motor' but is also used as a general control term, meaning that a feedback loop is used to position an item. A servo motor can be a DC, AC, or brushless DC motor, combined with a position sensor – in most cases, a digital encoder. The defining feature of a servo motor is that it operates in a closed-loop system (uses feedback).
Shielded Cable – an electrical cable with a common conductive layer surrounding its conductors, which is meant to provide electromagnetic shielding, thereby preventing EMI issues
Stepper Motor – A stepper motor (also referred to as step or stepping motor) is an electromechanical device achieving mechanical movements through conversion of electrical pulses. Stepper motors are driven by digital pulses rather than by a continuous applied voltage. Unlike conventional electric motors which rotate continuously, stepper motors rotate, or step, in fixed angular increments. A stepper motor is most commonly used for position control. With a stepper motor/driver/controller system design, it is assumed the stepper motor will follow digital instructions. One important aspect of stepper motors is the lack of feedback to maintain control of position, which classifies stepper motors as open-loop systems. Stepper motors can rotate forward or in reverse, but they cannot move large loads.
Step – A step is the movement of the rotor of a stepper motor from one energized position to the next.
Step Angle – The step angle is the nominal angle through which the shaft of a stepper motor turns between adjacent step positions. Step angle depends upon the motor and driving sequence (mode of drive). Smaller step angles result in higher resolution.
Step Increment – Step increment is an indication of step or motion size. Usually this is specified in degrees for a rotary motor and inches or millimeters for a linear motor.
Step (Stepping, Stepper) Motor – A Stepper is synonymous with Step and Stepping motor: a digital actuator, which operates from discrete pulses (input signals) and produces motion in discrete increments, which may be rotary or linear. See stepper motor definition above.
Step Position – the angular position that the shaft of an unloaded step motor assumes when energized. The step position is not necessarily the same as the detent position.
Torque – A rotational force. Torque is measured in N*m, lb*in, lb*ft, etc. 1 N*m is the torque produced by 1N of force applied to a lever arm that is 1m long.
Torque Limiter – A torque limiter is a mechanical protection device which causes the load to separate from the drive when an overload happens
Yaw, Pitch – Rotation of carriage around the Z axis (Yaw) or Y axis (Pitch), when it moves. The testing of on-axis accuracy, repeatability, and reversal error are made systematically with test equipment in an air-conditioned room (20 °C±1 °C). A linear cycle with 21 data points on the travel and 4 cycles in each direction gives a total of 164 points.
