Designing a Servo Motor Using SolidWorks 2019 With the latest version of SolidWorks at hand, engineers can now create complex mechanical systems, including custom servo motors, from scratch. The software's robust set of tools and features makes it an ideal choice for designing innovative solutions. In this article, we'll explore how to design a servo motor using SolidWorks 2019. First things first, open up SolidWorks 2019 and create a new part file. Once the file is created, switch to the "Design" tab in the top menu bar and click on "Part." This will bring up the part property manager window where you can set the unit system and other parameters for your design. Next, draw a simple motor housing using the extrude tool. You can also use the revolve tool if you prefer. For this example, let's assume we're designing a DC servo motor with a 5-volt output. Now that we have our motor housing in place, it's time to add some mechanical components like gears and bearings. SolidWorks 2019 comes equipped with an array of pre-made parts and libraries that can be easily imported into your design. To create a gear system, select the "Gear" tool from the toolbar and draw a simple spur gear. You can customize its properties by clicking on the gear icon in the property manager window. With our gear system in place, it's time to add some motion control elements like encoders or resolvers. These components provide critical feedback about the motor's position and speed. To create an encoder, select the "Encoder" tool from the toolbar and draw a simple optical encoder disc. You can customize its properties by clicking on the encoder icon in the property manager window. Now that we have our servo motor design complete, it's time to assemble all the components together. SolidWorks 2019 makes this process seamless with its powerful assembly tools. To create an assembly, select the "Assembly" tab from the top menu bar and click on "New." This will bring up the assembly property manager window where you can set the unit system and other parameters for your design. With our servo motor assembly complete, it's time to simulate its performance using SolidWorks 2019's motion analysis tools.
