We always think it is interesting that a regular DC motor and a generator are about the same thing. Sure, each is optimized for its purpose, but inefficiencies aside, you can use electricity to rot… ...

If you are [Tech Build] you go all MacGyver on an old printer and pull out a stepper motor. How does a stepper motor turn into an encoder? Well, that’s the MacGyver part.

How optical rotary encoders can provide real-time motion feedback on motion applications using stepper motor-driven linear actuators.

Titanio series stepper drives from Ever Motion Solutions include three new drives available with two open-loop (no encoder ...

A diagram of the stepper motor circuit is included, as well (Fig. 7). Any compatible stepper driver and stepper motor can be used. You don’t need to source the exact same components seen here.

The new SC Series from Nanotec Electronic is an out-of-the-box combination of a stepper motor with an optical encoder. The new SC Series from Nanotec Electronic is an out-of-the-box combination of a ...

The new board drives three 2-phase bipolar stepper motors up to 2.8A. Utilizing Trinamic’s highest performance stepper motor driver IC for external MOSFETs TMC5160 and the dedicated closed-loop motion ...

Makers, developers and Arduino enthusiasts searching for silent stepper drivers with high resolution encoders which are also Arduino compatible. May be interested in the new range of uStepper S line ...

JVL QuickStep closed-loop integrated stepper motors provide higher torque, faster acceleration, torque control, stall free operation and quieter movements than traditional step motor systems. They do ...

Stepper motors also have performance limitations. For example, the motor needs to break friction to begin turning and move the load, at which point the rotor is not fully controlled.

Avago Technologies announced the market's first three-channel reflective encoder. Avago Technologies announced the market's first three-channel reflective encoder. The new AEDR-850x encoders feature ...
