Stepper motors are increasingly important for positioning tasks in automated systems due to their compact size, cost ...

Engineers rely on motion-control devices to improve efficiencies and production rates on automated factory floors, or at least maintain them. One family of such devices, stepper motors, is widely used ...

Adjust the phase current, crank up the microstepping, and forget about it — that’s what most people want out of a stepper motor driver IC. Although they power most of our CNC machines and 3D printers, ...

With a 13-mm diameter, the 11-mm-long URG1 stepper motor offers up to 2,500 steps/s. Custom versions are available. Suiting applications such as print systems, smart-card terminals, and cameras and ...

The PS211 Series two-phase stepper motors reach up to 200,000 steps-per-revolution at a fine-pitch resolution angle of 0.0018°. The motors are constructed from polished steel, magnetic elements, and ...

Mikroe has added a smart 85V 10A stepper motor driver to its range of interchangeable ‘Click’ boards. Called Power Step 2 Click, the board “is based on the powerSTEP01, a 1/128 microstepping ...

Here's a simple algorithm that uses conventional microcontroller blocks to control commercially available H-bridges to properly commutate a bipolar stepper motor through a microstepping profile.

When it’s time to specify a high-performance motor that offers both precise positioning and cost efficiency, stepper motors offer many advantages over DC motors thanks to their brushless technology.

One constant trend in the automotive world is the push to reduce the size of electronic components and electronic control units (ECUs). While this development has many benefits for car manufacturers ...
