Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSMs) are brushless and have very high reliability and efficiency. Due to their permanent magnet rotor, they also have higher torque with smaller frame size and no rotor current, all of which are advantages over AC Induction Motors (AICMs). With their high power-to-size ratio, PMSMs can help make your design smaller without the loss of torque. PMSMs need to be commutated like BLDC motors, but due to the construction of the windings, the waveforms need to be sinusoidal for good performance.
Motomova Electric Vehicle and Traction Motor laboratory systems include the capabilities for testing high-speed, high-torque electric vehicle (EV) motors, in laboratory applications. These capabilities overcome some unique challenges, due to the unique motor applications, such as: high power densities, high speed ranges, high torque ranges, robustness, and more. MEA’s solution for this special requirement provides capabilities that enable testing EV motors of a maximum power of 200 kW at 24,000 rpm, and a power of 100 kW at maximum speed of 36,000 rpm. Motomova Testing Systems provides PMSM Test stands that allow the user to test motors for performance, efficiency, or Endurance for any type of R&D or End of Line requirements. The PMSM Test stands are controlled with the MEA RDS software. The data-acquisition is done with the software and you can also automate your tests with it.

A Servo Motor is a closed-loop servomechanism that uses position feedback (like encoder) to control its motion and final position. The input to its control is a signal (either analogue or digital) representing the position commanded for the output shaft.
Servo Motors are used in radio-controlled airplanes to position control surfaces like elevators, rudders, walking a robot, or operating grippers.
Excel at position and speed control.
High output power relative to motorsize and weight.
Encoder determines accuracy and resolution.
High efficiency. It can approach 90% at light loads.
High torque to inertia ratio. Servo Motors can rapidly accelerate loads.
Servo motors achieve high speed at high torque values.
Quiet at high speeds.
Requires tuning to stabilize the feedback loop.
Will become unpredictable when something breaks, so safety circuits are required.
Complex controller requires encoder and electronic support.
Peak torque is limited to a 1% duty cycle. Servo Motors can be damaged by sustained overload.
Gear boxes are often required to deliver power at higher speeds.
Higher overall system cost and the installation cost of a Servo Motor system may be higher than that of a stepper motor due to the requirement for feedback components
