The growing availability of customizable options for motors allows engineers to tailor motors to specific application needs, while modular designs simplify integration and reduce development time.

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 ...

Nanotec will reportedly 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 USB's many advantages have led designers to come up with a wide range of applications for the bus. For example, the figure shows a USB-based controller for four stepper motors built using ...

Engineers rely on motion-control devices to improve efficiencies and production rates on automated factory floors, or at least maintain them. One family of such devices, stepper motors, is widely used ...

Five new 86mm flange stepper motors have holding torque values ranging from 4.0 to 13.6Nm, with design and control that enables high-precision and cost-effective positioning without an encoder system, ...

If you are building a project that needs to control stepper motors wirelessly you might be interested in a new piece of hardware created by the team at Good Robotics which takes the form of the aptly ...

Stepper motor due to its variety of usage in robotics application has numerous ways of controlling. One such method is presented here. Raspberry Pi, the new tool in the market came with a bang. The ...

Note: This specialization requires purchase of a hardware kit in order to apply your knowledge and skill with real world tools. The hardware will be used to complete the lab exercises across the four ...

When it’s time to specify a high-performance motor that offers both precise positioning and cost efficiency, stepper motors offer many advantages over DC motors thanks to their brushless technology.
