Because optical encoders are functionally similar, “resolution” is often used as a main characteristic for magnetic encoders, a device providing the angle of a magnet attached to a mechanical shaft ...

The CRK-M family is a ROHS-compliant high resolution series of 5-phase step motors and drivers. The family consists of 3 step motor and driver models that offer a basic step angle of 0.36º. The ...

When applying step motors, designers need to consider several factors, including output torque, rotor inertia, step angle, and speed. Having already discussed the effects of torque and inertia (August ...

For every system design, engineers must determine how much accuracy is necessary. All components put into the system affect this accuracy, even back to the motor. In step motors, accuracy increases ...

The world is digital today, and most information is represented in numbers. However, human nature is more “analog” and information is better represented in the old-fashioned way, using pointer gauges ...
