This Design Idea further develops a previous one integrating a stepper-motor driver in a CPLD (Reference 1). However, this idea integrates not only the driver, but also a simple one-axis stepper-motor ...

Measuring 40 x 40 mm, the dual-axis EZHR17EN stepper-motor controller/driver provides up to 2-A drive current for one axis and up to 1 A for the second axis with an optional second stepper or ...

Stepper motors are now being used more frequently in industrial environments. Increased performance and reduced size make them increasingly attractive, and their application is no longer limited to ...

The precision, reliability, and high torque of stepper motors make them attractive to manufacturers for many applications. German-based Trinamic Microchips GmbH (Trinamic USA; Scottsdale, AZ) ...

Stepper motors are increasingly important for positioning tasks in automated systems due to their compact size, cost ...

Engineers rely on motion-control devices to improve efficiencies and production rates on automated factory floors, or at least maintain them. One family of such devices, stepper motors, is widely used ...

When you think about highly-precise actuators, stepper motors probably aren’t the first device that comes to mind. However, as [Diffraction Limited]’s sub-micron capable micro-manipulator shows, they ...

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 ...

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 ...

The X20SM1436-1 module from B&R can be used to operate stepper motors with operating voltages of 18-60 VDC at rated currents up to 2.5 A. In addition, an integrated current reduction function ...
