Bipolar stepper motors provide precise position control while operating in an open loop. Industrial automation applications—such as robots and processing and packaging machinery—and consumer ...

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) defines a servo device as “an adjustable-speed AC power drive system that includes an AC motor integrated by feedback, a converter, and control, ...

This is a modification of the popular AccelStepper library that runs the motors using timer interrupts instead of polling them in the main loop. This allows for more precise step timings and running ...

Motors are changing in fundamental ways, and you can actually hear the difference. Vacuums, air conditioners, and home appliances are getting quieter. They’re also becoming more efficient, able to ...

Festo’s new stepper motor series — EMMT-ST — features absolute encoders, IP65 protection, holding brakes and control via a single cable. OEMs have the choice of an absolute single-turn encoder or ...

This paper describes the development and implementation of a control system for a direct current (DC) motor using the Arduino Uno microcontroller, based on the speed and direction control of the motor ...

ASI8100 space-saving stepper motor with a built-in drive combines a stepper motor, stepper motor output stage and fieldbus connection in a fully integrated design. These EtherCAT devices mount ...

Electric motors, which convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, play an essential role in a variety of industrial and robotics applications. Given that electric motors account for ...

Electric motors have become a critical element of modern vehicles, being deployed everywhere from water and oil pumps to HVAC systems, windscreen wipers, seat controls and windows. Electric motors ...

Stepper and servo motors have different attributes when considered for motion applications. Torque curves play an important role in selecting the proper size and type of motor for an application.
