Brushless servo motors are all the hype these days. But stepper motors still provide a number of advantages while being more cost efficient and robust. Together with precision linear and rotary ...

The global stepper motors market, valued at US$4.82 billion in 2023, is set to reach US$6.17 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of approximately 4% from 2024 to 2029. The market's expansion is driven ...

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 amount of noise in a motor depends on the type of motor, environmental conditions, and the specific application. Permanent magnet and hybrid stepper motors are generally quieter, as they have a ...

[Tobias Kuhn] had watched a YouTube video about a robot arm which used servo motors, and wanted to try making one himself. But he found it hard to get slow or smooth movements out of the servos. Even ...

About once a week (it seems), I get a press release talking about some company's newest stepper motor or stepper motor driver IC. Rather than discuss just one manufacturer's product to the exclusion ...

Specifically designed to be used in satellites and spacecraft, vacuum rated motors can be used for communications antennas as well as vehicle controls. The harsh environment of vacuum and microgravity ...

Stepper motor linear actuators (SMLAs) combine a stepper motor, precision lead screw and nut in one compact envelope, providing a highly configurable, customizable and robust system for linear motion.

Stepper and servo motors have different attributes when considered for motion applications. Torque curves play an important role in selecting the proper size and type of motor for an application.

There are a lot of fun projects you can do with stepper motors salvaged from old printers or disk drives. However, it isn’t always clear how to connect to some strange motor with no markings or ...

Learn how to install an Autometer digital stepper motor fuel pressure gauge and fix a faulty oil gauge line in this detailed ...

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.
