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 ...

Allegro MicroSystems, LLC revealed a new low voltage bipolar stepper or dual DC motor driver IC. The A3916 device was designed for pulse-width-modulated (PWM) control of low-voltage stepper motors or ...

Here's a simple algorithm that uses conventional microcontroller blocks to control commercially available H-bridges to properly commutate a bipolar stepper motor through a microstepping profile.

MIKROE’s Stepper 28 Click is a compact add-on development board that enables precise control of two-phase bipolar stepper motors with supply voltages from 8.2 to 44 V. Capable of delivering up to ...

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 ...

TRINAMIC extends its portfolio of TMCM embedded motor control modules. Following the success of the TMCM-351 triple axis board, the TMCM-3351 is designed to be as easy to use as its sibling, but with ...

ROHM Co., Ltd. has developed two new motor driver ICs for brushed DC motors, BD60210FV (20V, 2ch) and BD64950EFJ (40V, 1ch), which are intended for use in home and office appliances such as ...

Stepper motors divide a full rotation into hundreds of discrete steps, which makes them ideal to precisely control movements, be it in cars, robots, 3D printers or CNC machines. Most stepper motors ...

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 ...

The new PJE series of bipolar hybrid stepper motors from Nippon Pulse America Inc. are available in sizes from 20 to 86 mm in diameter (NEMA sizes 8 to 34). The motors provide high torque in each of ...

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 ...

If you’ve been a good little hacker and have been tearing apart old printers like you’re supposed to, you’ve probably run across more than a few stepper motors. These motors come in a variety of ...
