We always think it is interesting that a regular DC motor and a generator are about the same thing. Sure, each is optimized for its purpose, but inefficiencies aside, you can use electricity to rotate ...

The other day we had a big problem. The Saddle feeder's speed control was done by a hydraulic device which consists of a wheel having a complete 360 degree rotation representing from zero speed to ...

Stepper motor linear actuators (SMLAs) combine a stepper motor, precision lead screw and nut in one compact envelope, providing a highly configurable, customizable and robust system for linear motion.

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 ...

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 ...
