We always think it is interesting that a regular DC motor and a generator are about the same thing. Sure, each is optimized for its purpose, but inefficiencies aside, you can use electricity to rotate ...

How optical rotary encoders can provide real-time motion feedback on motion applications using stepper motor-driven linear actuators. Stepper motor linear actuators with added optical encoders (From ...

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

It is an engineering truism that there is no such thing as a perfect solution—just the best solution for the problem at hand. That holds particularly true for servo motors and stepper motors. Both are ...

The new SC Series from Nanotec Electronic is an out-of-the-box combination of a stepper motor with an optical encoder. The new SC Series from Nanotec Electronic is an out-of-the-box combination of a ...

Makers, developers and Arduino enthusiasts searching for silent stepper drivers with high resolution encoders which are also Arduino compatible. May be interested in the new range of uStepper S line ...

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

TRINAMIC extends its portfolio of TMCM embedded motor control modules. Following the success of the TMCM-351 triple axis board, the TMCM-3351 is designed to be as easy to use as its sibling, but with ...

Encoders are fantastically useful devices for human-machine interfacing. The issue for the makers, teachers, students, and engineers trying to use them is that many have less-than-ideal output signals ...

Nanotec has introduced a driver for stepper and brush-less dc (BLDC) motors with sensor-less closed-loop and field-oriented control (FOC). Intended for steppers from NEMA 14 to NEMA 34 and BLDC motors ...
