Surprise! There’s no guarantee a stage can make moves on the order of its resolution specs. Modern motion-control applications are typically defined by a broad set of specifications. Typical specs ...

Step motor control offers a powerful alternative in the right applications. Step motors are popular first and foremost because they are easy to use. They do not require an encoder to maintain their ...

Stepper motors are brushless synchronous electric motors powered by direct current that rotate in steps, keeping the rotor stationary under a specific power supply. A well-defined sequence of PWM ...

Many step motor users are faced with a question of whether or not to use microstepping in their stepper motor application. “What will it affect and how will I benefit from it?� one may ask.

Stepper motors exhibit a special feature: the ability to rotate the rotor shaft by a few degrees very precisely and without the need for sensors to detect the shaft’s angular position. In short, a ...
