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. But finding the right stepper for a given application can be a challenge. There’s a ...

Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. A new controller IC, the L6470 for stepper motors, integrates the power stage along with a digital control core on a ...

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 ...

For maximum efficiency, the boundary conditions of the complete electro-mechanical system should be mapped During the optimization of a stepper-motor-based motion control system design an engineer ...

This Design Idea further develops a previous one integrating a stepper-motor driver in a CPLD (Reference 1). However, this idea integrates not only the driver, but also a simple one-axis stepper-motor ...

When applying step motors, designers need to consider several factors, including output torque, rotor inertia, step angle, and speed. Having already discussed the effects of torque and inertia (August ...

The Series H42S high-torque, 42-mm. hybrid step motor has improved performance and competitive pricing. The 1.8 deg. step motors--measuring 42 mm. square--are available in four lengths: 25, 34, 40 and ...
