Ramel,

Yes, an appropriately chosen DC motor equipped with a rotary encoder
for position feedback can be used as a servo motor. And there are
servo drives (such as the G320/G340 from Geckodrive, whose designer is
on the list here) which take the same step & direction inputs as
stepper motors. Done right, this can results in much higher
performance for much lower cost than that of the large stepper
motors needed for substantial machine tools.
