Stepper motors produce accurate, computer-controlled motion for applications such as robotic arms and paper-feed mechanisms for printers. They require current pulses delivered through a special ...

Brushless servo motors are all the hype these days. But stepper motors still provide a number of advantages while being more cost efficient and robust. Together with precision linear and rotary ...

When you think about highly-precise actuators, stepper motors probably aren’t the first device that comes to mind. However, as [Diffraction Limited]’s sub-micron capable micro-manipulator shows, they ...

A simple, low-cost hardwired step per motor control circuit that can be used in low-power applications, such as moving toys etc is presented here. A simple, low-cost hardwired step per motor control ...

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 ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Millions of small electrical devices with built-in motor-driven mechanisms, used daily around the world, rely on ...

AMI Semiconductor, a manufacturer of integrated mixed-signal and structured digital products, has introduced two single-chip stepper motor controller ICs. AMI Semiconductor, a manufacturer of ...

Steppers position precisely if loads are stable and speeds stay below 1,000 rpm. Hybrid stepper motors combine the operating principles of variable reluctance with permanent-magnet stepper motors. The ...

Oriental Motor of Japan is offering stepper motors with battery-free multi-turn absolute position encoding that can ride through power-loss. Oriental Motor of Japan is offering stepper motors with ...
