Positioning is central to a wide range of industrial applications, from the placement of electronic com-ponents on a printed-circuit board to labeling and packaging operations. When it comes to ...

Steppers position precisely if loads are stable and speeds stay below 1,000 rpm. Hybrid stepper motors combine the operating principles of variable reluctance with permanent-magnet stepper motors. The ...

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 ...

To run a stepper motor smoothly, it's necessary to apply linear acceleration. However, conventional algorithms to generate linear acceleration require complicated mathematics, which makes it difficult ...

When selecting a ceramic milling machine, it is essential to match the specifications of the stepper motor to the processing requirements, avoiding the extremes of “oversized motor for small tasks” or ...

Stepper motors resemble servo motors in that both types are characterized by an ability to rotate a partial turn and then stop for any interval with or without holding torque. In addition, both motor ...

Part 2 in a series of articles on motor control design focuses on how to reduce noise, one of the biggest challenges, in stepper motors. The amount of noise in a motor depends on the type of motor, ...

OES says its new YPR-10-15-100 three-axis stages provide precise yaw, pitch, and roll positioning with multiple motor options ...

The new series of three-axis high precision Yaw, Pitch and Roll Stages are capable of rotating an object around a fixed point ...

Ultra-compact, lightweight and stepper motors with improved torque and low backlash join the PKP Series. PKP Series 2-phase Flat Type Oriental Motor is pleased to expand the PKP Series stepper motor ...
