We never tire of watching Strandbeests with their multitude of legs walking around, and especially enjoy the RC ones. [Jeremy Cook], prolific Strandbeest maker, just made one by motorizing and adding ...

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 ...

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 ...

See how RC stepper motors perform in this detailed test, highlighting smooth operation and precision control. This video ...

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 ...

If you are building a project that needs to control stepper motors wirelessly you might be interested in a new piece of hardware created by the team at Good Robotics which takes the form of the aptly ...

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 ...

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 are fascinating and incredibly important to having automation or robotics in the here and now. The precise terms of their name refer to how they work that is; a motor will turn one step ...

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 ...
