Servo

The word “servo” usually implies position control, and is usually controlled by sending a PCW signal to the device.

an electric motor is built with a specific torque and speed
use a gearbox to choose desired ratio between torque and speed: more torque, less speed
a servo can be also defined by it's rotation: 360, 504, 663, 840, 1260, or continuous. 360 is a single rotation.
control: speed, position, both
use a gearbox to choose blend of rotation, torque, speed
