Servo伺服
A servo is a motor or drive system that uses closed-loop position, velocity, or torque feedback to control motion precisely in automated equipment such as robot axes, machine tools, and conveyor actuators. In manufacturing localization, the term appears in drive parameter manuals, commissioning instructions, troubleshooting guides, and spare parts lists where motion axes, feedback devices, and tuning values are described.

Where this term appears
Servo appears in translated drive display messages, parameter tables, error codes, and commissioning software. Translators handle terms such as servo on, servo off, following error, and auto-tuning. Consistency with PLC and HMI documentation is essential because the same servo alarm may be shown on the drive panel and in the central control system.
Translation checks
A common error is treating servo as a brand name or as a synonym for any electric motor, which obscures the feedback and closed-loop control aspects. Another mistake is dropping the distinction between servo drives and servo motors in spare parts lists. That can lead to ordering errors or incorrect replacement instructions during maintenance.
Keep the term aligned across your files
Check equipment names, units, safety instructions and interface labels against the source and approved references. Confirm any market-specific document requirements separately.
Provide approved terms and previous translations with the source files. Agree how variants, ambiguous wording and revisions will be reviewed. Terminology maintenance and any termbase handback are confirmed in the project scope. See the 8-step AI + expert workflow.
