Brushless servo motors are all the hype these days. But stepper motors still provide a number of advantages while being more cost efficient and robust. Together with precision linear and rotary ...

SAN DIEGO, June 28 /PRNewswire/ — The new high-performance, high-reliability stepper motor drivers from ROHM Semiconductor offer selectable excitation modes—full-step to sixteenth-step with 1.0A or ...

The graph shows that at 16 microsteps/full step, the incremental torque for one microstep is less than 10% of the full-step holding torque. The lure of microstepping a two-phase stepper motor is ...

Stepper motors are often used for positioning since they are cost-effective, easy to drive, and can be used in open-loop systems—meaning that they don’t require position feedback like servo motors.

Promising high performance and reliability, the company’s stepper motor drivers offer selectable excitation modes: full-step to sixteenth-step with 1A or 2A outputs and full-step to eighth-step with a ...

It’s increasingly common for designers to pair stepper motors with motion-control SoCs. In fact, more design engineers than ever are setting up SoCs themselves for motion applications. These chips ...
