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 ...

Here is how to implement a stepper motor to sense position and actively correct any error that might accrue during actuation.

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 ...

Nanotec will be the first manufacturer in the world to launch a sensorless control for stepper motors in which the speed of the rotor is determined by means of a "virtual encoder" within the ...

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.

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 ...

Stepper motors are well known for their ability to perform accurate positioning in an open-loop mode. But they have a reputation for generating a lot of heat when rotating at high speeds. Generation ...
