Stepper motors produce accurate, computer-controlled motion for applications such as robotic arms and paper-feed mechanisms for printers. They require current pulses delivered through a special ...

It’s fair to say that building electronic gadgets is easier now than it ever has been in the past. With low-cost modular components, there’s often just a couple dozen lines of code and a few jumper ...

Bipolar stepper motors are used in many applications, from driving paper through a printer to moving an XY stage in industrial equipment. Typically, the motors are driven and controlled by inexpensive ...

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 ...

Stepper and servo motors have different attributes when considered for motion applications. Torque curves play an important role in selecting the proper size and type of motor for an application.
