The X20SM1436-1 module from B&R can be used to operate stepper motors with operating voltages of 18-60 VDC at rated currents up to 2.5 A. In addition, an integrated current reduction function ...

The primary feature of stepper motors is listed right within their name: their ability to ‘step’ forwards and backwards, something which they (ideally) can do perfectly in sync with the input provided ...

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 ...

New and existing stepper motor applications will benefit from SILENTstep, a sensorless drive and control system developed by Agile Systems and available in the UK from LG Motion. The new modular drive ...
