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 ...

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 ...

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) defines a servo device as “an adjustable-speed AC power drive system that includes an AC motor integrated by feedback, a converter, and control, ...

It is an engineering truism that there is no such thing as a perfect solution—just the best solution for the problem at hand. That holds particularly true for servo motors and stepper motors. Both are ...

Bipolar stepper motors are used in many applications, from driving paper through a printer to moving an XY stage in industrial equipment. Typically, the motors are driven and controlled by inexpensive ...

Stepper motors find use in many automotive applications,including headlight leveling; adaptiveheadlamps, in which the headlamps turn rightor left with the steering wheel; EGR ...
