Abstract

An assembly comprising a drive motor connected to a member to be rotated by a transmission means which is liable to slip when the rotating member is subjected to a loading thereon, includes a compensation circuit connected to the motor control circuit and operable to apply to the latter a compensation signal proportional to the change in a parameter directly related to the motor torque, thereby to compensate for slipping of the transmission means.
