  • Circuit for increasing the operating speed range of a velocity servo system
    Patent number: 4109190
    Abstract: A velocity servo system for driving a motor to control the movement of a member. The system is comprised of means coupled to the motor for generating a signal indicative of the actual velocity of a member being driven by the motor, integrator means responsive to a commanded velocity signal indicative of the desired velocity of the member and to the actual velocity signal for generating a position error signal, and means responsive to the position error signal and the actual velocity signal for generating a signal to drive the motor.
