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 ...

About once a week (it seems), I get a press release talking about some company's newest stepper motor or stepper motor driver IC. Rather than discuss just one manufacturer's product to the exclusion ...

Stepper motors resemble servo motors in that both types are characterized by an ability to rotate a partial turn and then stop for any interval with or without holding torque. In addition, both motor ...

The DRV8805 provides an integrated solution for driving unipolar stepper motors. It includes four low side drivers with overcurrent protection and provides built-in diodes to clamp turn-off transients ...

Toshiba has launched the TB67S579FTG, a stepper motor driver IC featuring Advanced Microstep Technology. This two-phase, bipolar stepper motor driver employs a constant current control method. Target ...

Rotary motor motion is usually converted to linear through rack and pinion sets, belts and pulleys, and other mechanical linkages. These are effective but limited systems. In contrast, integrated ...

Motors play key roles in many motion-control functions across a multitude of industries, from packaging, food and beverage, and manufacturing to medical and robotics. Engineers can choose from several ...
