Microstepping is a major advancement in step motor technology introduced many years ago that allows motors to make finer steps in movement. By manipulating the current vector, microstepping creates ...

Stepper motors are mostly used for precise motion control of structures or axes for a distance. But what happens if we want to control time? We can answer this question with the bare motor rotation, ...

Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. A new controller IC, the L6470 for stepper motors, integrates the power stage along with a digital control core on a ...

The CRK Series of five-phase microstepping motor and driver has a drive function that reduces speed fluctuations, vibration, and noise during operation. In microstep mode, the driver has 25 preset ...

Allegro Microsystems had released a full-bridge PWM microstepping motor driver last 2013 that features an output of ±1.5 A continuous current with a 50 V voltage rating, the A4975. This device is ...
