Steppers position precisely if loads are stable and speeds stay below 1,000 rpm. Hybrid stepper motors combine the operating principles of variable reluctance with permanent-magnet stepper motors. The ...

About once a week (it seems), I get a press release talking about some company's newest stepper motor or stepper motor driver IC. Rather than discuss just one manufacturer's product to the exclusion ...

Rotary motor motion is usually converted to linear through rack and pinion sets, belts and pulleys, and other mechanical linkages. These are effective Rotary motor motion is usually converted to ...

Two-chip designs combining a microcontroller or DSP with a highly integrated driver IC simplify the design of a stepper-motor controller, while also enabling sophisticated control features that would ...

I’m a technician for a company that manufactures gimbaled camera systems for UAVs—the spy in the sky—unmanned aircraft that have been widely used in the war on ...

Few hackers have trouble understanding basic electric motors. We’ve all taken apart something that has a permanent magnet DC motor in it and hooked up its two leads to a battery to make it spin.

Tesseract Technologies, Formnext Awards finalist in the Rookie category, has developed affordable linear motors for ...

Finding just the right off-the-shelf part to complete a project is a satisfying experience – buy it, bolt it on, get on with business. Things don’t always work out so easily, though, which often ...
