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 ...

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 ...

Available in two stack lengths and a maximum holding torque of 5.1 oz-in., this new motor offers a small and lightweight body combined with high torque technology. The PK Series is perfectly suited ...

Servomotors and stepmotors are candidates for incremental control applications. Engineers should consider both types and determine which gives the best competitive edge for a given machine. Often, the ...

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 ...

Hybrid stepper motors combine the operating principles of variable reluctance with permanent-magnet stepper motors. The rotor shaft holds one or more pairs of stacked laminations containing many teeth ...

Over the last two decades, stepping motors (or step motors) have increasingly been applied in electronic-control applications throughout all segments of the electronics industry. Its simplicity of ...

Gearing up: on the left is an illustration of a 4×4 array of meta-atoms that are rotated using gears and a stepping motor. On the right is a single meta-atom at the centre of rings that illustrate its ...

The BD6360GUL was developed specifically for stepping motors in auto focus and zoom applications. The parallel interface requires just a control signal from the microcontroller in order to drive the ...
