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 ...

This application note describes how to implement an exact linear speed controller for stepper motors. The stepper motor is an electromagnetic device that converts digital pulses into mechanical shaft ...

Nanotec has introduced a driver for stepper and brush-less dc (BLDC) motors with sensor-less closed-loop and field-oriented control (FOC). Intended for steppers from NEMA 14 to NEMA 34 and BLDC motors ...

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 ...

Toshiba Electronics Europe has launched the TB67S579FTG, a next-generation stepper motor driver IC featuring Advanced ...

Sophisticated motor control is no longer the sole province of custom hardware and proprietary control techniques. Advances in powerful, low-cost digital-signal controllers (DSCs) let designers use ...

Texas Instruments attacks motor control with its InstaSpin hardware/software combination. InstaSpin delivers sensorless, field-oriented-control (FOC) using a self profiling motor approach. There are ...

It’s little secret that stepper motors are everywhere in FDM 3D printers, but there’s no real reason why you cannot take another type of DC motor like a brushless DC (BLDC) motor and use that instead.

Microprocessor control lets variable-speed PMSMs save energy. Sophisticated motor control is no longer the sole province of custom hardware and proprietary control techniques. Advances in powerful, ...
