We’ve all heard linear motors, like those propelling Maglev trains, described as “unrolled” versions of regular electric motors. The analogy is apt and helps to understand how a linear motor works, ...

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 ...

Stepper motors are useful for relatively low-speed, intermediate-torque drive and positioning applications, particularly where accurate sub-revolution rotor position control is necessary. Motors of ...

AMI Semiconductor, a manufacturer of integrated mixed-signal and structured digital products, has introduced two single-chip stepper motor controller ICs. AMI Semiconductor, a manufacturer of ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Millions of small electrical devices with built-in motor-driven mechanisms, used daily around the world, rely on ...

ClearCore CLCR-4-13 is an industrial IO and motion controller that can be programmed using the Arduino IDE. It handles up to four axes of step-and-direction motion control (500kHz max step rate), and ...

Ask anybody whose spent time standing in front of a mill or lathe and they’ll tell you that some operations can get tedious. When you need to turn down a stainless rod by 1/4″ in 0.030″ increments, ...

Today in devices that use stepper motors to make beautiful music we present to you this Arduino-powered, Raspberry-Pi containing music box that uses simple stepper motors to grind out merry tunes and ...

The EEWeb Design Contest First Edition sponsored by Arduino and Altium is now open for submissions. This inaugural contest challenges hardware design enthusiasts from all over the world to develop an ...
