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 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 ...

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 ...

ON Semiconductor has introduced the LV8702V, a new stepper motor driver IC that delivers significantly improved efficiency versus existing products on the market. The device has been specifically ...

One constant trend in the automotive world is the push to reduce the size of electronic components and electronic control units (ECUs). While this development has many benefits for car manufacturers ...

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 ...

The A4979 flexible microstepping motor driver with built-in translator is designed to operate bipolar stepper motors in full, half, quarter, and sixteenth-step modes, at up to 50 V and 1.5 A. The ...

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

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 ...

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 ...
