    hello my friends
    i am trying to build a linear analog servo drive for a servo motor and YES it is analog not a PWM for many reasons one of them :is that this drive is a part of control system i am working on and i want to reduce the noise to minimum.
    so i dig the web and i found several power op amp: like L165,L2720, LM675,LM12
    i am kid of confused because all i want is :
    Class-AB linear power Amplifier with no distortion around zero
    i am trying to use the power op-amp rather than power transistors to reduce the number of components and the issues related to them .
    here is the motor specifications:
    http://www.specamotor.com/en/Faulhaber/motors/2338-006S/datasheet_motor.html
    i suppose to control the position in bi-direction.
    the questions:
    1-which power op-amp should i use?
    2- is there a ready drive that i can buy ?
    3-is this circuit correct to control the motor position in bi-direction?

    any help will be more than appreciated

    That circuit looks OK. You will need a power supply of about +-7V to limit the motor voltage to 6V.

    I have not looked up the data for the amps you mention but I have used a LA6500 (1A Maximum) for non audio purposes.

    The DAC must be able to produce positive and negative outputs or you will need a level shifter.

    If you want position control you will need some form of feedback to determine the position. Many years ago, model aircraft used potentiometers to indicate position. I do not know current technology in this area. A potentiometer can be used to provide a voltage to match that of the input when the position is correct.

    yes sure there is encoder involved to measure the angle and a computer with Data Acquisition Card used to implement the controller
