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, ...

Microcontrollers may dominate today’s stepper motor projects, but there’s a certain charm in driving them with pure CMOS logic. This no-firmware approach strips things down to the fundamentals of ...

Nanotec has introduced a driver for stepper and brush-less dc (BLDC) motors with sensor-less closed-loop and field-oriented control (FOC). Intended for steppers from NEMA 14 to NEMA 34 and BLDC motors ...

Thomson Industries, Inc. has announced a significant upgrade to its stepper motor linear actuator (SMLA) online selector tool, adding the ability to include encoders in the design process. DOWNERS ...

Now lets get back to our TMC2208 stepper driver module understand its basics and learn how to use it with an Arduino UNO board. One of the standout features of the TMC2208 is its ability to operate ...

Today, we are going to investigate the TMC2208 stepper motor driver, a commonly used driver module that performs well with 2-phase bipolar stepper motors. The TMC2208 module is manufactured by ...

Graceful Shutdown: Ensuring the motor and controller are shut down safely when the application is stopped. If the application operates on a multicore MCU/DSP/FPGA, an appropriate inter-core ...

Stepper motor linear actuators (SMLAs) combine a stepper motor, precision lead screw and nut in one compact envelope, providing a highly configurable, customizable and robust system for linear motion.

In Oriental Motor’s continuing drive to improve customers’ productivity and reduce costs, it has developed a mechanical encoder for use with the AlphaStep AZ Series of stepper motors. Oriental Motor’s ...
