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

We’ve all heard linear motors, like those propelling Maglev trains, described as “unrolled” versions of regular electric motors. The analogy is apt and helps to understand how a linear motor works, ...

ROHM has developed two new motor driver ICs for brushed DC motors, BD60210FV (20V, 2ch) and BD64950EFJ (40V, 1ch). They are ...

This Design Idea further develops a previous one integrating a stepper-motor driver in a CPLD (Reference 1). However, this idea integrates not only the driver, but also a simple one-axis stepper-motor ...

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

There are a lot of fun projects you can do with stepper motors salvaged from old printers or disk drives. However, it isn’t always clear how to connect to some strange motor with no markings or ...

It’s increasingly common for designers to pair stepper motors with motion-control SoCs. In fact, more design engineers than ever are setting up SoCs themselves for motion applications. These chips ...

Specifically designed to be used in satellites and spacecraft, vacuum rated motors can be used for communications antennas as well as vehicle controls. The harsh environment of vacuum and microgravity ...

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, ...

Here's a simple algorithm that uses conventional microcontroller blocks to control commercially available H-bridges to properly commutate a bipolar stepper motor through a microstepping profile.

Kevin Teresa based in Switzerland has created a new open source stepper motor driver board with 6A / phase and 48V capabilities enabling it to drive a wide variety of stepper motors from NEMA 17 to ...

International certification minimizes the cost and time involved with gaining regulatory compliance for an OEM’s complete system. Approvals include ATEX and IECEx certifications for Class 1, Zone 1 ...
