The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory has been operating for over 15 years and many electronic components are now obsolete and require replacement to assure reliability ...

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 ...

Abstract: Stepper motors have found applications in multiple domains of technology. The use of stepper motors in automation and robotic projects is extremely notable; for example, dot matrix or inkjet ...

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 ...

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 ...
