Stepper motors are now being used more frequently in industrial environments. Increased performance and reduced size make them increasingly attractive, and their application is no longer limited to ...

A simple, low-cost hardwired step per motor control circuit that can be used in low-power applications, such as moving toys etc is presented here. A simple, low-cost hardwired step per motor control ...

Controls any bipolar stepper motor or actuator up to 2.5A/phase; Manual control knob so that you can move the device at variable speeds; Mounts easily to panel, lab bench, or electronics cabinet; ...

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.

Motor controllers in general and especially closed-loop controllers have come a very long way in the past few years. Control flexibility, adaptability, and strategies that were only dreamed of or very ...

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 ...

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 ...
