It is an engineering truism that there is no such thing as a perfect solution—just the best solution for the problem at hand. That holds particularly true for servo motors and stepper motors. Both are ...
[Frank Herrmann] had an interesting idea to turn a geared DC motor into a servo motor assembly, but with a stepper motor-like interface. By stacking some small PCBs behind the motor body, it was ...
As usual, the needs of the application play a major role in determining which is the best type of motor to use. As the shift to automation continues to gain momentum in the industrial sector, servo ...
We’ve seen plenty of motor projects, but [Jeremy]’s DIY Tubular Linear Motor is a really neat variety of stepper motor in a format we certainly don’t see every day. It started as a design experiment ...
International certification minimizes the cost and time involved with gaining regulatory compliance for an OEM’s complete system. Approvals include ATEX and IECEx certifications for Class 1, Zone 1 ...
Stepper motors are often used for positioning since they are cost-effective, easy to drive, and can be used in open-loop systems—meaning that they don’t require position feedback like servo motors.
Designed for medical devices, scientific and optical instruments, embedded automation applications, and other small-footprint devices needing dual-axis motion control, this system is designed to work ...
Stepper motors are synchronous motors that step at the pulse rate of the driving signal. For the motor to move quickly, the stepping rate must be fast. However, because of motor and load inertia, the ...
