I'm translating a Russian text about a high-tech kitchen, and one sentence goes like this:
The cabinets are equipped with servo drives and will open at a light touch.
The original text says literally "equipped with electrical motors", but I came across the term "servo-drive". Is this term generic, or is there a more widely used generic term for this?
I would avoid a licensed term in favor of a more generic, common one.
To my mind, servos are typically used in control-gear, not the sort of thing I'd associate with cabinets.
Personally, I'd use something like:
The cabinets are electrically driven ...
or
The cabinets have motor drive ...
There is a "Servo Drive" brand of cabinet door and drawer opening system which may be what they are referring to:
I suppose that there may be other vendors with similar products, but in some places the actual name, "SERVO-DRIVE" may be a registered trademark by this company.
