Key Takeaways
- Servo motors drive the tablet, capsule and packaging machines and other pharma equipment built in Hyderabad.
- We supply Rtelligent RSHA, RSNA, RSDA and RSM AC servo motors, integrated and DC servos and servo reducers.
- Size the motor from the motion profile: peak and RMS torque, top speed and load inertia ratio.
- Washdown areas may call for motors with higher IP ratings, offered on selected RSNA models.
Hyderabad does not only use pharma machines, it builds them. Workshops in Kukatpally, Cherlapally, Uppal and Nacharam make tablet presses' feeders, capsule handling units, cartoners, blister lines and inspection machines for plants across India. As these machines get faster and handle more format changes, servo motors replace cams and mechanical drives. RB Automation is a servo motor supplier in Hyderabad for these builders and for plant maintenance teams, shipping the Rtelligent servo range with matched drives from Ahmedabad and helping with sizing by phone, WhatsApp and email.
What Sets a Servo Motor Apart
A servo motor carries a high-resolution encoder and works with a drive that closes position, speed and current loops continuously. When the load changes, for example as a hopper empties or a format part is swapped, the drive raises or trims current so the motion stays on profile. The result is quick acceleration, high speed, the ability to ride through brief overloads and precise stops, which are exactly what electronic camming and format changeovers need.
Rtelligent Servo Motors We Supply
- RSHA series: AC servo motors in 60 and 80 mm frames with 17-bit magnetic or 23-bit optical absolute encoders and an optional brake.
- RSNA series: AC servo motors with the same encoder choices, an optional brake and IP65/IP66 options.
- RSDA series: ultra-short body AC servo motors for machines where length is tight.
- RSM series servo motors.
- IDV integrated low-voltage servo: motor and drive in one body on an 18-48 VDC supply, with RS-485 or CANopen control.
- Super short DC servo motor: 48 V motors with an optional brake.
- Servo reducers: planetary gearboxes in several sizes to raise torque and balance inertia.
Across these AC series, power ratings run from about 50 W up to 1 kW, enough for most pharma packaging and handling axes. Details are on the AC servo motor overview, and complete motor-drive sets under servo systems.
Servo Axes on Pharma Equipment
Tablet and capsule handling
Feeders, rejection gates, counting heads and transfer star wheels use servo motors where the timing must follow the machine's master speed.
Cartoners and blister lines
Carton feeding, product pushers, foil index and cutting stations use servos so that a format change becomes a recipe change on the HMI instead of a mechanical adjustment.
Inspection and serialisation
Track-and-trace and vision inspection modules need smooth, accurately spaced product transport, which servos provide.
Engineering and aerospace suppliers near Adibatla
Test benches, positioning fixtures and small automation cells use servo axes where load and speed vary.
A Sizing Routine That Works
- Write down the move: stroke length, move time, ramp and pause for each step of the cycle.
- Calculate torque: peak torque during acceleration and the RMS value over the full cycle, including friction and any gravity load.
- Check speed: top motor speed, after any reduction ratio.
- Balance inertia: heavy star wheels and format parts may need a reducer to keep the inertia ratio reasonable.
- Consider the environment: washdown areas may need a higher IP rating, and any axis that carries weight needs a brake.
- Pair the drive: only a drive from the paired series should run the motor; see the servo drive guide for Hyderabad.
When a Stepper Is Enough
Slow indexing and short positioning moves can often be handled by a closed-loop stepper at lower cost. See the stepper servo drive guide for Hyderabad and our comparison of stepper motor vs servo motor.
Servo Motor Choices Compared
| Option | Key points | Where it fits |
|---|---|---|
| RSHA series | 60/80 mm frames, absolute encoder, optional brake | General packaging and handling axes |
| RSNA series | 50 W to 1 kW, optional brake, IP65/IP66 options | Axes in areas that see cleaning |
| RSDA series | Ultra-short body, 60/80 mm frames | Machines with little room behind the motor |
| IDV integrated low-voltage servo | Drive built in, 18-48 VDC, RS-485 or CANopen | Compact and mobile equipment |
| Super short DC servo | 48 V, optional brake | Tight spaces and Z-axes |
| Servo reducer | Planetary gearbox | Heavy star wheels and inertia matching |
Servo or Closed-Loop Stepper for Pharma Machines
| Question | Servo motor | Closed-loop stepper |
|---|---|---|
| Continuous synchronised motion at speed? | Yes, designed for it | Limited |
| Frequent format changes via recipe? | Handles easily | Possible on slower axes |
| Short-term overload capacity | High | Low |
| Commissioning effort | Tuning needed | Minimal |
| Typical spend per axis | More | Less |
A Typical Servo Application in Hyderabad
Imagine a typical horizontal cartoner built by an Uppal machinery workshop for a blister line. Blister strips arrive from the packer, a pusher loads them with a leaflet into a carton, flaps are folded and the batch code is printed. The carton magazine pick, the product pusher and the main chain must stay locked together at every speed, and a format change for a different carton size should take minutes. Servo motors on the pusher and the carton feed, with a servo reducer on the heavier chain axis to balance inertia, let the controller hold the timing electronically. A closed-loop stepper can take care of the slow leaflet feeder to keep the machine's cost in check.
Servo Sizing Errors to Avoid
- Sizing on continuous torque and ignoring the acceleration peak.
- A high inertia ratio on heavy change parts without a reducer.
- Pick-and-place heads that rise and fall but have no holding brake.
- Running encoder cables beside motor power cables.
- Combining a motor and drive that are not a matched pair.
Information for a Servo Motor Enquiry
- Motion profile: stroke, time and dwell
- Load mass or inertia, and any gearbox ratio
- Top speed and duty cycle
- Brake, encoder and IP rating needs
- Controller in use and quantity
