The fundamental circuit shown in Figure 1 generates timing for a two-phase stepper motor from an oscillator, as well as a direction (forward or reverse) signal. Figure... The fundamental circuit shown ...

Two-chip designs combining a microcontroller or DSP with a highly integrated driver IC simplify the design of a stepper-motor controller, while also enabling sophisticated control features that would ...

Stepper motors are synchronous motors that step at the pulse rate of the driving signal. For the motor to move quickly, the stepping rate must be fast. However, because of motor and load inertia, the ...

Stepper motors resemble servo motors in that both types are characterized by an ability to rotate a partial turn and then stop for any interval with or without holding torque. In addition, both motor ...

A new drive option for the DMC-30000 Pocket Motion Controller Series is the DMC-30016 from Galil Motion Control Inc. • Combines a single-axis motion controller with a 1.4-A per phase stepper drive • ...

A new line of miniature two-phase stepper motors have their leadscrew shafts press fitted directly on the motor rotor eliminating shaft couplings. The miniature steppers come in diameters of 6, 8, 10, ...

The primary feature of stepper motors is listed right within their name: their ability to ‘step’ forwards and backwards, something which they (ideally) can do perfectly in sync with the input provided ...
