When selecting a ceramic milling machine, it is essential to match the specifications of the stepper motor to the processing requirements, avoiding the extremes of “oversized motor for small tasks” or ...

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 ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Millions of small electrical devices with built-in motor-driven mechanisms, used daily around the world, rely on ...

Thanks to improved capabilities, stepper motors are becoming a popular option for industrial automation applications. Component integration, software macros, and other innovations help simplify ...

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 ...

This is a sub-project developed as part of a larger system for wind-driven standalone synchronous generator analysis and control. Here, we focus on stepper motor control logic which could be used to ...

Part 2 in a series of articles on motor control design focuses on how to reduce noise, one of the biggest challenges, in stepper motors. The amount of noise in a motor depends on the type of motor, ...

This project implements an Application-Specific Instruction-set Processor (ASIP) designed to control a stepper motor using a custom 8-bit RISC instruction set. The processor architecture includes a ...

To better understand the origins of noise, we need to think about how the rotation movement takes place. When a stepper motor performs a step, it does not stop immediately but continues to move ...
