unusual facts about Servo


MAK Lubricants

MAK Lubricants is a very young brand as compared to established brands like Castrol and Servo.


Adam Koppy

This role required him to carry out the design from clean sheet to final drawings in SolidWorks and Inventor, including structural analysis using the finite element method and hand calculations, as well as spindle design, drivetrain sizing, and servo actuator selection.

After Burner II

Like OutRun, another Sega arcade game, After Burner II came in several versions, the most famous being a large, servo actuated, sit-down cabinet which resembled a cockpit and moved according to the motion of the plane onscreen.

Arthur Troop

He believed in the positive qualities of friendship, which is why the motto of the association is "Serve through friendship", also rendered "Servo per Amikeco" in Esperanto.

Copterline Flight 103

The helicopter manufacturer, Sikorsky Aircraft, rejected these findings, saying it and servo manufacturer HR Textron "do not agree that the servo caused the mishap".

Digifold

A system using Siemens S7-200 PLC and Siemens Servo controllers was developed throughout the late 1990s, into the year 2000.

Digital Linear Tape

SDLT adds an optical servo system that reads servo patterns on the back of the tape to keep the data tracks on the front of the tape correctly aligned with the read/write heads.

Escape from the Bronx

Most of the jokes regarded the obvious Italian setting and bad outfits but of particular note is that the character of Dablone (whose name the characters mispronounce as Toblerone) quickly won Mike, Tom Servo and Crow over with his over the top performance ("We're getting a big slab of Toblerone here!").

Heberlein brake

This causes the brake clips to be applied on individual wagons, assisted by a servo system which makes use of the rotation of the axle.

Joshua Weinstein

J. Elvis Weinstein, American writer and performer, best known for his roles as Dr. Laurence Erhardt and the original puppeteer and voice for Tom Servo on Mystery Science Theater 3000

Mitchell Electronics

Mitchell Electronics' products include the TI-3000 line of servomotor run-rest equipment, TI-4000EX (formerly PulsePro) line of encoder test equipment, TI-5000EX (formerly TI-5000) line of PC based servo feedback test equipment and software and the TI-7000 line of servo feedback field test equipment.

Motion control photography

Early attempts at motion control came about when John Whitney pioneered several motion techniques using old anti-aircraft analog computers (Kerrison Predictor) connected to servos to control the motion of lights and lit targets.

Pasporta Servo

Pasporta Servo in its current form was first published in 1974 with 40 hosts, under the guidance of Jeanne-Marie Cash in France.

Saunders-Roe Princess

While the prototype aircraft had advanced (but conventional) hydraulic controls, S-R intended production aircraft to use an analogue system based around electrical servos with hydraulic final control actuators.

Self-parking system

The basic components of such a system are a rear-mounted camera, servo-motors for turning the steering column and activating brakes, and a micro-computer based control system to perform the parking maneuver.

Self-steering gear

The most widespread form of self-steering, the servo pendulum, was introduced to cope with the power required to operate a larger rudder and was a successor to the servo trim tab principle (introduced by Herbert "Blondie" Hasler).

Sisu K-44

The air brakes are driven by an engine powered compressor which also feeds the servo for the hydraulic brake circuit.

Triumph TR

In 1967, the TR line was updated with servo-assisted brakes and a 2.5 L version of the straight-six engine that had been used in the Triumph 2000.
