It’s increasingly common for designers to pair stepper motors with motion-control SoCs. In fact, more design engineers than ever are setting up SoCs themselves for motion applications. These chips ...

Stepper motors are brushless and very reliable, since there are no contact brushes inside the motor. Therefore, the life of the motor is simply dependent on the life of the mechanical bearing. A ...

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 ...

Abstract: In this paper, we implement a stepper motor drive system on field programmable gate array (FPGA), and the design is mainly based on vector control strategy. First, the control system is ...

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 ...
