Stepper motors divide a full rotation into hundreds of discrete steps, which makes them ideal to precisely control movements, be it in cars, robots, 3D printers or CNC machines. Most stepper motors ...

Here is how to implement a stepper motor to sense position and actively correct any error that might accrue during actuation.

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 ...

Step motors are a natural choice when design specs call for low-cost automation with accurate, open-loop control Step motors are a natural choice when design specs call for low-cost automation with ...

Stepper motor systems are highly efficient when producing torque, but lack operational efficiency when not producing torque. Applied Motion Products offers insights on how to make a greener and more ...

The new motor driver supports both sensor-based and sensorless control while aiding configuration with programmable flash.

It’s little secret that stepper motors are everywhere in FDM 3D printers, but there’s no real reason why you cannot take another type of DC motor like a brushless DC (BLDC) motor and ...
