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 ...

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 line ...

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 ...

With the addition of encoder options for 0.36º and 0.72º stepping motors, the vendor’s entire range of stepping motors (including 0.9º and 1.8º stepping motors) now has the option for an encoder.

Oriental Motor of Japan is offering stepper motors with battery-free multi-turn absolute position encoding that can ride through power-loss. Oriental Motor of Japan is offering stepper motors with ...

Bipolar stepper motors are used in many applications, from driving paper through a printer to moving an XY stage in industrial equipment. Typically, the motors are driven and controlled by inexpensive ...

Encoders are fantastically useful devices for human-machine interfacing. The issue for the makers, teachers, students, and engineers trying to use them is that many have less-than-ideal output signals ...

Oriental Motor is pleased to announce the arrival of the EtherNet/IP communication protocol to the αSTEP AZ Series AC Input stepper motor drivers. This new EtherNet ...

An interesting trend in industrial motion control has been the replacement of self-contained encoders (rotation sensors with their own housing, bearings and shaft) with modular or “kit” encoders.
