Let's face it, trucks aren't getting any shorter, especially when it comes to heavy-duty pickups. And when you add a lift kit and bigger tires, like we did with our project 2002 Chevrolet Silverado ...

Step motors provide accurate position control without the need for feedback, traditionally in open-loop control schemes. A stepper motor’s shaft normally makes discrete angular movements of ...

In a recent article, I wrote about step-motor system performance emphasizing key concepts that all engineers need to understand about this widely-used electro-magnetic-mechanical digital actuator. As ...

Increasingly elaborate Rube Goldberg schemes for controlling step-motors have developed over the years that try to pace stepping to avoid missteps. This direction of development is fundamentally ...

Stepper motor systems are highly efficient when producing torque, but lack operational efficiency when not producing torque. Applied Motion Products offers insights on how to make a greener and more ...

Frequently, when it comes to step motor selection, users will select a motor with the highest holding torque rating, assuming that it will give them optimal performance. However, it is an improper ...

Many step motor users are faced with a question of whether or not to use microstepping in their stepper motor application. “What will it affect and how will I benefit from it?� one may ask.
