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 ...

Stepper motors produce accurate, computer-controlled motion for applications such as robotic arms and paper-feed mechanisms for printers. They require current pulses delivered through a special ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Renesas and Minebea Mitsumi have announced the joint development of resolver-based (angle sensor) stepping motor and motor control solutions for use in robots, office automation (OA) equipment, and ...

With a Plug & Drive PD2-N integrated closed loop stepping motor, Nanotec expanded its offering of integrated stepper motors with closed loop sine commutation. Nanotec is expanding NEMA 17 applications ...

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 ...

Toshiba Electronics Europe has introduced five new next generation stepping motor control drivers. The devices were designed using Toshiba's BiCD 130nm mixed signal process technology and are said to ...
