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

To successfully follow a velocity profile, a motor and drive combination must generate enough torque to: accelerate the load inertia at the desired rates, and drive the load torque at the desired ...

To upgrade machine performance or address stalling problems, manufacturers often resize motors with greater torque to achieve greater accelerations for proper operations. Retrofitting a stepper motor, ...

Speed, torque, and horsepower are three inter-related parameters in motor control. The speed of a motor, measured in revolutions per minute (rpm), defines a motor's ability to spin at a rate per unit ...

As the shift to automation continues to gain momentum in the industrial sector, servo motors and stepper motors with electric actuators become ever more important. When selecting a motor for an ...

A stepper motor driver provides up to 5 A per phase from a high bus voltage with sophisticated current control, delivering high torque over a range of speeds. The STAC5 is intended for use in such ...

Here's a simple algorithm that uses conventional microcontroller blocks to control commercially available H-bridges to properly commutate a bipolar stepper motor through a microstepping profile.
