Munich, Germany, – PANdrive PD-140-42-SE from TRINAMIC contains a powerful motion control element in combination with a 42 mm stepper motor (NEMA 17). As an additional benefit, this series also has ...

This Design Idea further develops a previous one integrating a stepper-motor driver in a CPLD (Reference 1). However, this idea integrates not only the driver, but also a simple one-axis stepper-motor ...

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 ...

A stepper motor controller/driver IC integrates a digital control core which enables a single microcontroller to easily manage several motors, because it only has to issue high-level movement commands ...

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 ...

Melexis has introduced a 40W driver with four half bridges and field-oriented control to operate three-phase brushless motors and four-wire stepper motors. A CPU is included and both sensor-less and ...

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

3D scanners aren’t cheap, and the last thing you want to see after purchasing one is bad data. But that’s what [Dave Does] and others were getting from their Revopoint POP scanners until some communal ...

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 ...

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 ...
