Abstract: In this paper, speed control curve of stepper motor was studied for optimizing the motion flexibility and improving the motion precision of the stepper motor under the open-loop control ...

Oriental Motor offers an extensive product line-up of 50,000 different products that provide a motion control solution for the most unique application. Founded in Japan in 1885, Oriental Motor has ...

It is an engineering truism that there is no such thing as a perfect solution—just the best solution for the problem at hand. That holds particularly true for servo motors and stepper motors. Both are ...

This article is for those who are interested in learning about the fundamentals of DC motor control in electronic systems. The most prevalent form of the motor is a direct current (DC). There is ...

The first installment of this two-part series focused on debugging brushed-DC motor systems. Now the second installment will share some tips for stepper motor systems and provide general bench testing ...

Stepper motors are often used for positioning since they are cost-effective, easy to drive, and can be used in open-loop systems—meaning that they don’t require position feedback like servo motors.

When an application requires a reliable, low-cost motor with simple operation, stepper motors can be hard to beat. However, the same straightforward design and driving method that make stepper motors ...

Different types of motors need different types of drivers. Requirements for a variety of applications. Selecting the right motor driver is crucial to achieving the required functionality and ...
