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 ...

The project utilizes scavenged stepper motors from disk drives or printers with some probing of an ohmmeter followed by some simple driver code on the microprocessor. The project utilizes scavenged ...

Toshiba Electronics Europe GmbH has launched the TB67S579FTG, a next-generation stepper motor driver IC featuring Advanced Microstep Technology. This two-phase, bipolar stepper motor driver utilises a ...

Toshiba Electronics Europe has introduced a new stepper motor driver integrated circuit, the TB67S579FTG, featuring its ...

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 ...

ST Micro's Markus Ekler explains the technology and derives thermal loss equations that can be used to support design decisions for stepper motor driver circuits. One constant trend in the automotive ...

Developers, makers and hobbyists that are looking for a way to control up to four motors using their Raspberry Pi mini PC. May be interested in a new control board that has been created by Justin ...

Toshiba Electronics Europe has launched the TB67S579FTG, a next-generation stepper motor driver IC featuring Advanced ...

New motor technology reduces heating effects in the motor, allowing it to run up to 104 °F (40 °C) cooler than the conventional stepper motors. This offers benefits including 100% torque utilization ...

Key opportunities include growth from robotics in manufacturing, automotive electrification, and industrial automation.

We’ve seen plenty of motor projects, but [Jeremy]’s DIY Tubular Linear Motor is a really neat variety of stepper motor in a format we certainly don’t see every day. It started as a design experiment ...

The project drives a bipolar stepper motor with the use of a dual H-bridge IS such as the SN754410. The bipolar stepper motors are usually identified on most steppers with 4 wires. Measuring the ...
