Can I use a Chinese servo motor with another brand's drive?

Usually not without work: encoder protocols (often proprietary serial absolute encoders), pole count and motor parameters differ. Buy the motor and drive as a matched set, and check the fieldbus (EtherCAT, CANopen, Modbus) your controller uses.

Low-voltage DC servo or 220 V AC servo?

Battery-powered machines — AGVs, mobile robots, carts — use 24–60 V servos to avoid an inverter and high-voltage safety measures. Fixed machines with mains power use 220 V or 380 V AC servos, which reach higher power and speed.

What encoder resolution do I need?

17-bit is enough for most conveyors and packaging; 23-bit multi-turn absolute encoders are common now and avoid homing after power loss. Direct-drive tables and robot joints benefit from higher resolution.

Can I get samples before a volume order?

Listed servo makers sell through distributors and system integrators and keep standard sizes in stock; smaller makers and joint-module suppliers send samples directly, typically in 1–3 weeks.

Servo Motor Manufacturers in China

Chinese servo makers now hold a large share of their home market with AC servo systems from 50 W to tens of kilowatts, low-voltage DC servos for AGVs and robots, direct-drive torque motors and robot joint modules. Shenzhen is the centre — listed companies such as Inovance and Leadshine, Kinco's Shenzhen arm, and joint-module and torque-motor makers — with Changzhou, Wuhan and Shanghai as other bases.
