Frequently, when it comes to step motor selection, users will select a motor with the highest holding torque rating, assuming that it will give them optimal performance. However, it is an improper ...

Stepper motors are often used for positioning since they are cost-effective, easy to drive, and can be used in open-loop systems—meaning that they don’t require position feedback like servo motors.

Here is how to implement a stepper motor to sense position and actively correct any error that might accrue during actuation.

[Neumi] over on Hackaday.IO wanted a simple-to-use way to drive stepper motors, which could be quickly deployed in a wide variety of applications yet to be determined. The solution is named Ethersweep ...

The LPD6G series two-phase stepping motor packs a parallel planetary gearhead that delivers 1.2 oz.-in. of torque at 1,358 pulses per second or 30 rpm. The entire package measures 0.5" in length by ...
