Stepper motors are now being used more frequently in industrial environments. Increased performance and reduced size make them increasingly attractive, and their application is no longer limited to ...

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 ...

Precision movement and positioning systems used in industries such as automated manufacturing using the advanced single-chip digital motion controllers announced by STMicroelectronics. The two cSPIN ...

The LV8714TA dual stepper motor driver features low on resistance power FETs and loss-less current sensing, plus ultra-small micro step operation. The chip operates from a single 4 to 16.5 V supply.

The EP7041 EtherCat Motion Box enables stepper motor control in a compact, machine-mountable device, without need for a protective control cabinet. Well-suited for harsh environments, the compact ...

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 ...
