Engineers rely on motion-control devices to improve efficiencies and production rates on automated factory floors, or at least maintain them. One family of such devices, stepper motors, is widely used ...

The amount of noise in a motor depends on the type of motor, environmental conditions, and the specific application. Permanent magnet and hybrid stepper motors are generally quieter, as they have a ...

A pulse train motion controller, the PCI-8144 from Adllink Technology offers four pulse output channels for controlling stepper motors. The PCI bus board supports both T-curve and S-curve profiles, as ...

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 ...

Stepper motors produce accurate, computer-controlled motion for applications such as robotic arms and paper-feed mechanisms for printers. They require current pulses delivered through a special ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Millions of small electrical devices with built-in motor-driven mechanisms, used daily around the world, rely on ...

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) defines a servo device as “an adjustable-speed AC power drive system that includes an AC motor integrated by feedback, a converter, and control, ...

Specifically designed to be used in satellites and spacecraft, vacuum rated motors can be used for communications antennas as well as vehicle controls. The harsh environment of vacuum and microgravity ...

The EP7041 EtherCat Motion Box enables stepper motor control in a compact, machine-mountable device, without need for a protective control cabinet. Well-suited for harsh environments, the compact ...
