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 ...

The new PF25 stepper motor measures 25 mm in diameter and integrates a lead screw shaft. It is available with either Anisotropic ferrite or neodymium magnets. Motors using neodymium magnets have a ...

It’s increasingly common for designers to pair stepper motors with motion-control SoCs. In fact, more design engineers than ever are setting up SoCs themselves for motion applications. These chips ...

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 ...

Stepper motor drive When a two-pole permanent magnet is used in the motor rotor, one full-step corresponds to a mechanical angle of 90 0. Each full step can be further divided into a number of ...

After using an oscilloscope to confirm that stepper motors driven backward produced an alternating current, University of Maryland senior Josh Sheldon decided to turn the resulting waveforms into ...
