Stepper motors divide a full rotation into hundreds of discrete steps, which makes them ideal to precisely control movements, be it in cars, robots, 3D printers or CNC machines. Most stepper motors ...

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, ...

The graph shows that at 16 microsteps/full step, the incremental torque for one microstep is less than 10% of the full-step holding torque. The lure of microstepping a two-phase stepper motor is ...

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 ...
