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 are increasingly important for positioning tasks in automated systems due to their compact size, cost ...

A simple, low-cost hardwired step per motor control circuit that can be used in low-power applications, such as moving toys etc is presented here. A simple, low-cost hardwired step per motor control ...

Stepper motors are now being used more frequently in industrial environments. Increased performance and reduced size make them increasingly attractive, and their application is no longer limited to ...

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 ...

Here's a simple algorithm that uses conventional microcontroller blocks to control commercially available H-bridges to properly commutate a bipolar stepper motor through a microstepping profile.

TRINAMIC Motion Control, a leading global developer of motor and motion control technologies, announced immediate availability of the TMCM-1043-KIT development system. Designed for Trinamic's highly ...

The compact and rugged unit for bipolar two-phase stepper motors can operate with motor coil currents of 0.7 A up to 7 A RMS (9.8 A peak) and voltages of 15 V to max 75 V. Parameterisation requires no ...

When it’s time to specify a high-performance motor that offers both precise positioning and cost efficiency, stepper motors offer many advantages over DC motors thanks to their brushless technology.
