It’s increasingly common for designers to pair stepper motors with motion-control SoCs. In fact, more design engineers than ever are setting up SoCs themselves for motion applications. These chips ...

Stepmotors and servomotors are both used successfully for positioning in equipment worldwide. However, designers sometimes overlook their distinct characteristics. The two motor types offer different ...

TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") has launched “TB9120AFTG,” a constant-current 2-phase stepping motor driver for automotive applications. The new IC ...

Over the last two decades, stepping motors (or step motors) have increasingly been applied in electronic-control applications throughout all segments of the electronics industry. Its simplicity of ...

Stepper motors divide a full rotation into hundreds of discrete steps, which makes them ideal to precisely control movements, be it in cars, robots, 3D printers or CNC machines. Most stepper motors ...

The amount of noise in a motor depends on the type of motor, environmental conditions, and the specific application. Permanent magnet and hybrid stepper motors are generally quieter, as they have a ...

Bob Christie examines the EasyStepper concept for driving bipolar stepper motors using an integrated step and direction translator interface. A built-in translator makes devices incorporating ...

Gearing up: on the left is an illustration of a 4×4 array of meta-atoms that are rotated using gears and a stepping motor. On the right is a single meta-atom at the centre of rings that illustrate its ...

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.

Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. Take a look at a modern motor controller and one of the first things you'll notice is that the control circuit is about ...
