The growing availability of customizable options for motors allows engineers to tailor motors to specific application needs, while modular designs simplify integration and reduce development time.

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) ...

Industrial applications comprise a wide variety of tasks, each with its own motor specifications. Selecting the proper motor type and how to control its operation is crucial for maximizing performance ...

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 ...

Bipolar stepper motors are used in many applications, from driving paper through a printer to moving an XY stage in industrial equipment. Typically, the motors are driven and controlled by inexpensive ...

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 ...

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 ...

The primary feature of stepper motors is listed right within their name: their ability to ‘step’ forwards and backwards, something which they (ideally) can do perfectly in sync with the input provided ...

What does a simple cascaded conveyor system look like? How to integrate a conveyor system using only the digital capabilities of modern variable frequency drives (VFDs). Simplifying the automation ...

Like the basic model, the version with Modbus TCP has two options for stepper motor maximum phase current – 0.1A to 4.2A for the model SMSD-4.2LAN and 1.0A to 8.0A for the model SMSD-8.0LAN. With such ...
