Factory Machines and Equipment

Servo motor.   Definition:  A servo motor is powered by electricity and runs at different speeds controlled by some sort of computer or controller.   Example:  The servo motor was burned out and had to be replaced.

Pump Truck.  Definition:  A device for lifting pallets (also called skids).   This device may referred to several different ways such as a pump cart, hand pump, pallet jack and many more.

It is not unusual to find things that are called by different names just like the example of pump truck above.  Sometimes if you go to another factory in the same city you will find they use different words for the same thing.   Some of those words are accepted technical words and sometimes they are slang.  I will talk about slang tomorrow.
