This Design Idea further develops a previous one integrating a stepper-motor driver in a CPLD (Reference 1). However, this idea integrates not only the driver, but also a simple one-axis stepper-motor ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Millions of small electrical devices with built-in motor-driven mechanisms, used daily around the world, rely on ...

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 ...

The CMMS-ST single-axis position controller combined with the EMMS-ST stepper motor is designed as a comprehensive, easy-to-use package for single and multiple-axis handling with loads of up to 20kg.

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 ...

The growing availability of customizable options for motors allows engineers to tailor motors to specific application needs, while modular designs simplify integration and reduce development time.

A new drive option for the DMC-30000 Pocket Motion Controller Series is the DMC-30016 from Galil Motion Control Inc. • Combines a single-axis motion controller with a 1.4-A per phase stepper drive • ...

Precision movement and positioning systems used in industries such as automated manufacturing using the advanced single-chip digital motion controllers announced by STMicroelectronics. Precision ...

When you think about highly-precise actuators, stepper motors probably aren’t the first device that comes to mind. However, as [Diffraction Limited]’s sub-micron capable micro-manipulator shows, they ...

Never one to pass up the recycle pile at work, [Scott] usually doesn’t find much. A few old hard drives, maybe a ancient laptop every once in a while, but on very rare occasions he finds something ...
