NINGBO, China, Dec. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Smooth Motor, a global supplier with 30 years of experience in professional motion solutions, has been selected to join the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) ...

You’d think that we’ve posted every possible clock here at Hackaday. It turns out that we haven’t. But we have seen enough that we’ve started to categorize clock builds in our minds. There are the ...

[Kevin Lynagh] is interested in tiny PCB stepper motors, and after reviewing the various projects and patents to-date, decided to give it a try himself. These are basically a stepper motor that’s been ...

I'm looking for a SBC recommendation for a stepper motor application for my employer. The stepper motor will rotate a chuck and an external device will take measurements based on the chuck's position.

Step motors provide accurate position control without the need for feedback, traditionally in open-loop control schemes. A stepper motor’s shaft normally makes discrete angular movements of ...

Stepper motors are often used for positioning since they are cost-effective, easy to drive, and can be used in open-loop systems—meaning that they don’t require position feedback like servo motors.

It is an engineering truism that there is no such thing as a perfect solution—just the best solution for the problem at hand. That holds particularly true for servo motors and stepper motors. Both are ...
