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 ...

Stepper motor drive When a two-pole permanent magnet is used in the motor rotor, one full-step corresponds to a mechanical angle of 90 0. Each full step can be further divided into a number of ...

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 ...

Apex has extended the design performance for PWM amplifier ICs with the development of a new 5A, 60V monolithic. The SA56 delivers increased power to drive a wider range of DC and stepper motors of up ...

Aerotech’s XC4 PWM digital drive is a single-axis motor drive designed for brushless DC, brush DC, voice coil, and stepper motors at up to 340 VDC operating voltage and 30 A peak current. All versions ...

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 ...

Know the four most common microstepping myths. Myth 1: A high microstep count will result in evenly spaced steps at that count. Microstepping is good for smooth motion. However, having a 256 microstep ...

The IDEA stepper motor drive platform now has the capability of communication using an RS-485 data protocol. The RS-485 protocol overcomes the limitations of other drive communication methods making ...

Speed control of an AC motor requires a three phase supply that can vary both voltage and frequency. Such a supply creates a variable speed rotating field in the stator that allows the rotor to spin ...

All versions are compatible with the Automation 3200 motion platform utilizing the HyperWire motion bus. The digitally closed current loop and servo loop allows loop closure rates up to 20 kHz as well ...
