This article presents the stepper motors as a technology creation and technology enabler in the modern era of electronic products. It describes the basics of stepper motor, the attributes, the ...

Stepper motors can be configured for unipolar or bipolar drive; each approach has different performance attributes and tradeoffs. The previous part of this article presented the basics of different ...

The world is digital today, and most information is represented in numbers. However, human nature is more “analog” and information is better represented in the old-fashioned way, using pointer gauges ...

A special closed-loop stepping-motor system eliminates difficulties around resonances and allows less-conservative motor sizing. • Clever management of motor current in a closed-loop stepper system ...

Let us take a look at this 28-BYJ48 Stepper motor. Okay, so unlike a normal DC motor this one has five wires of all fancy colors coming out of it and why is it so? To understand this we should first ...

The internals of a stepper motor showing its microsteps. Source: Giedrius/Adobe Stock Stepper motors are ubiquitous in the engineering field, as they have many distinct advantages over brushless DC ...
