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 ...

The TMC222 from Trinamic Microchips GmbH (Hamburg, Germany) also features an integrated IC-compliant interface and is designed for use in IT peripherals, industrial automation, medical devices, ...

The Portescap 20M024 can-stack stepper motors offer up to 1.6 oz-in. holding torque and a 15° step angle. The parts come with bipolar or unipolar winding construction, with 1.25 W of input power per ...

Even veteran engineers often suffer from a lot of misconceptions about stepper motors and how to drive them. This article will focus on clearing up just a few of these misunderstandings so that ...

It’s increasingly common for designers to pair stepper motors with motion-control SoCs. In fact, more design engineers than ever are setting up SoCs themselves for motion applications. These chips ...

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.
