All of the motors measure 21mm from front to back, plus 8mm of shaft protrusion. In each case there is a standard and a higher holding-torque variant, for example: the 42mm 200mNm HS17HX7L4100 and its ...

The new PF25 stepper motor measures 25 mm in diameter and integrates a lead screw shaft. It is available with either Anisotropic ferrite or neodymium magnets. Motors using neodymium magnets have a ...

The [Denki Otaku] YouTube channel took a look recently at some stepper motors, or ‘stepping motors’ as they’re called in Japanese. Using a 2-phase stepper motor as an example, the stepper motor is ...

Motors play key roles in many motion-control functions across a multitude of industries, from packaging, food and beverage, and manufacturing to medical and robotics. Engineers can choose from several ...

Rotary motor motion is usually converted to linear through rack and pinion sets, belts and pulleys, and other mechanical linkages. These are effective Rotary motor motion is usually converted to ...

There is increasing demand from engineers and specifiers working on complex motion control applications for cutting edge motors, especially those requiring high-torque, precise positioning and ...

Stepper motors are often used for positioning since they are cost-effective, easy to drive, and can be used in open-loop systems—meaning that they don’t require position feedback like servo motors.

When it’s time to specify a high-performance motor that offers both precise positioning and cost efficiency, stepper motors offer many advantages over DC motors thanks to their brushless technology.

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) defines a servo device as “an adjustable-speed AC power drive system that includes an AC motor integrated by feedback, a converter, and control, ...

The first installment of this two-part series focused on debugging brushed-DC motor systems. Now the second installment will share some tips for stepper motor systems and provide general bench testing ...
