Numerous machines designed with stepper motors for economic reasons could deliver better user experiences if they were quieter, smoother, and more energy-efficient. New control ...

How to Control a Stepper Motor Using a Computer. Stepper motors produce accurate, computer-controlled motion for applications such as robotic arms and paper-feed mechanisms for printers.

Titanio series stepper drives from Ever Motion Solutions include three new drives available with two open-loop (no encoder ...

When you think about highly-precise actuators, stepper motors probably aren’t the first device that comes to mind. However, ...

This stepper motor features 8 ‘teeth’ on the stator, driven by two coils wound as two levels (top and bottom) with a common center tap, giving a total of five control lines.

All stepper-motor systems consist of a controller, drive, and motor. Most systems are connected to a PLC for supervisory control. The controller accurately regulates the step position, the speed ...

Two-chip designs combining a microcontroller or DSP with a highly integrated driver IC simplify the design of a stepper-motor controller, while also enabling sophisticated control features that ...

The EP7041 EtherCat Motion Box enables stepper motor control in a compact, machine-mountable device, without need for a protective control cabinet.

Typical stepper-motor control circuits use either logic gates and flip-flops or shift registers to generate the proper sequences of binary codes that produce bidirectional stepper-motor movement. A ...

3.4 Stepper Motor Controller Stepper motors are useful for relatively low-speed, intermediate-torque drive and positioning applications, particularly where accurate sub-revolution rotor position ...

Step motors provide accurate position control without the need for feedback, traditionally in open-loop control schemes. A stepper motor’s shaft normally makes discrete angular movements of ...

New stepper motors, encoders and inertia dampers have been added to the SureStep® system of step motor control. SureStep series high-torque industry-standard NEMA 14, 17, 23, and 34 stepper motors now ...
