Featured in this project is the control of a stepper motor with its speed, direction, and step size by sending some signals through the parallel port. The project provides better understanding and ...

Part 2 in a series of articles on motor control design focuses on how to reduce noise, one of the biggest challenges, in stepper motors. The amount of noise in a motor depends on the type of motor, ...

Stepper motors are fascinating and incredibly important to having automation or robotics in the here and now. The precise terms of their name refer to how they work that is; a motor will turn one step ...

Sensorless control of stepper motors, in which the speed of the rotor is determined through a virtual encoder within the controller, is possible, claims German firm Nanotec. “This enables the stepper ...

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 ...

The KL2531 and KL2541 stepper motor terminals are designed as a compact and cost-effective I/O alternative to traditional stepper controls. These bus terminals integrate a compact motion control ...

If you are building a project that needs to control stepper motors wirelessly you might be interested in a new piece of hardware created by the team at Good Robotics which takes the form of the aptly ...

The Five-Axis Integrated Stepper Module (FAISM) controls up to five stepper motors and includes a stepper translator so output connects directly to the motor. Five channels of SSI encoder feedback are ...

Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions, Inc., a premier manufacturer of engineered linear motion products, announces the addition of stepper motor drivers available for 24 hour shipment. A variety of stepper ...
