If you are [Tech Build] you go all MacGyver on an old printer and pull out a stepper motor. How does a stepper motor turn into an encoder? Well, that’s the MacGyver part.

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 rot… ...

Titanio series stepper drives from Ever Motion Solutions include three new drives available with two open-loop (no encoder ...

A diagram of the stepper motor circuit is included, as well (Fig. 7). Any compatible stepper driver and stepper motor can be used. You don’t need to source the exact same components seen here.

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 ...

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

Position-controlled stepper motor axes are recognized for outstanding position stability. Traditional classical (DC) servo systems exhibit typical controller oscillation up to a few encoder counts.

The new board drives three 2-phase bipolar stepper motors up to 2.8A. Utilizing Trinamic’s highest performance stepper motor driver IC for external MOSFETs TMC5160 and the dedicated closed-loop motion ...

The TSM14POE StepSERVO from Applied Motion includes a motor, encoder, drive, and controller combined in a single integrated motor package.

JVL QuickStep closed-loop integrated stepper motors provide higher torque, faster acceleration, torque control, stall free operation and quieter movements than traditional step motor systems. They do ...

Stepper motors also have performance limitations. For example, the motor needs to break friction to begin turning and move the load, at which point the rotor is not fully controlled.
