Abstract
Abstract A servosystem having solid-state components includes means for summing an alternating command signal with a motor shaft position signal and when the resulting difference signal exceeds a predetermined threshold drivers are actuated for applying to the motor a voltage having a polarity in accordance with the phase of the difference signal relative to a reference. The voltage is cut off when the motor is at null, whereupon inertia drives the motor past null to provide a difference signal of opposite polarity so that the motor is driven in the opposite direction until it again passes through null, reversing the voltage thereto with the result being that full voltage is applied to the motor until the null is reached.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
65 words
A system as described by claim 1, wherein: the voltage source provides voltages of opposite polarities; and the switching means is affected by the signal for driving the motor in the one direction for applying voltage of one polarity to the motor, and is affected by the signal for driving the motor in the opposite direction for applying voltage of opposite polarity to the motor.
