The servo gain is also called position loop gain or position control system proportion gain. The
parameter defines the response when a position control loop is used. Increasing the set value
improves the tracking performance with respect to the position command. However, increasing
the parameter value excessively increases the chances of overshooting.
When the set value is too low, the follow-up ability to the position command is degraded and it
takes longer time to complete the positioning.
For a system of low mechanical rigidity or low natural frequency (every object has its own
natural frequency), setting a large servo gain number may generate mechanical resonance,
which then cause not only vibrations and/or noises but also overload error to occur.

The factory setting is the rated velocity of the actuator.
When a target position is set in an unregistered position table, the setting in this parameter is
automatically written in the applicable position number.
It is convenient to set the velocity often used.
