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 ...

Toshiba has introduced a bipolar driver for two-phase stepping motors up to 44V 5A that includes 1/128 micro-stepping. TB67S128FTG, as it is to be known, also supports full, half, quarter, 1/8, 1/16, ...

Designers turn to stepper motors when they need to move a load a precise position and hold that position without jitter. Stepper motors focus microscopes, position lasers, keep CNC machining ...

The RBK two-phase, bipolar stepping motor and drive package featuring dc input provides a number of special control functions such as the smooth-drive function that enables low-vibration operation ...

Actuonix actuators provide durability for tight spaces. The P8 line of micro stepper actuators features an ultra-compact design that offers capabilities for designing push/pull mechanisms. Featuring a ...

The question is: how to ‘cnc’ a manual Sieg X1 milling machine – the so called ‘micro mill’ that comes out in so many guises including the Clarke CMD10 featured here, available from Machine Mart, but ...

The amount of noise in a motor depends on the type of motor, environmental conditions, and the specific application. Permanent magnet and hybrid stepper motors are generally quieter, as they have a ...

A new series of microstepping motor driver integrated circuits with an integrated step and direction translator interface has been developed specifically by to drive bipolar stepper motors. These new ...

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.

Stepper motors divide a full rotation into hundreds of discrete steps, which makes them ideal to precisely control movements, be it in cars, robots, 3D printers or CNC machines. Most stepper motors ...
