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 ...

The primary feature of stepper motors is listed right within their name: their ability to ‘step’ forwards and backwards, something which they (ideally) can do perfectly in sync with the input provided ...

TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") has launched “TB9120AFTG,” a constant-current 2-phase stepping motor driver for automotive applications. The new IC ...

Over the last two decades, stepping motors (or step motors) have increasingly been applied in electronic-control applications throughout all segments of the electronics industry. Its simplicity of ...

Why are stepper motors ideal for medical applications? What are common medical applications? How can one improve on conventional stepper design to help reduce un-energized drag torque? What are some ...

Renesas and Minebea Mitsumi have announced the joint development of resolver-based (angle sensor) stepping motor and motor control solutions for use in robots, office automation (OA) equipment, and ...

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 ...

KAWASAKI, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") has expanded its lineup of stepping motor driver ICs with the launch of “TB67S549FTG,” a stepping motor ...

Bob Christie examines the EasyStepper concept for driving bipolar stepper motors using an integrated step and direction translator interface. A built-in translator makes devices incorporating ...

I'm looking for a SBC recommendation for a stepper motor application for my employer. The stepper motor will rotate a chuck and an external device will take measurements based on the chuck's position.
