Servo Drive Market Outlook - 2026
Servo drives are designed to convert electrical power into precision-controlled motion, e.g., controlled torque (torque servo), controlled speed (velocity servo), or controlled position (positioning servo). This typically requires at least three elements: the motor, feedback of some sort, and an amplifier. It can also be said that the servo drive is a special electronic amplifier used to power electric servomechanisms. Basically, servo drive receives a command signal from a control system, amplifies the signal, and transmits electric current to a servo motor to produce motion proportional to the command signal.
Typically, the command signal represents a desired velocity, but can also represent a desired torque or position. A sensor attached to the servo motor reports the motor's actual status back to the servo drive. The servo drive then compares the actual motor status with the commanded motor status. It then alters the voltage, frequency, or pulse width to the motor to correct for any deviation from the commanded status. Servo motors are used in commercial and other industry, aerospace, and other transportation equipment, household appliances, industrial machinery, heating ventilating & cooling equipment, and motor vehicles. Servo motors serve the purpose of automation, which is the key factor that drives the servo motors market, which in turn drives the servo drive market growth.
Furthermore, increase in adoption of international energy-efficient standards boost the growth of the servo drive market. In addition, stringent electricity utilization standards and rise in electricity prices are some of the other factors that fuel the market growth. However, high cost of servo motors is expected to hinder the growth of the servo drive market.
