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 ...

As the shift to automation continues to gain momentum in the industrial sector, servo motors and stepper motors with electric actuators become ever more important. When selecting a motor for an ...

When it’s time to specify a high-performance motor that offers both precise positioning and cost efficiency, stepper motors offer many advantages over DC motors thanks to their brushless technology.

Proper evaluation of torque margins across the full motion profile prevents stalling and ensures consistent performance under varying load and speed conditions. Mechanical resonance can cause ...

The first installment of this two-part series focused on debugging brushed-DC motor systems. Now the second installment will share some tips for stepper motor systems and provide general bench testing ...

There are a lot of fun projects you can do with stepper motors salvaged from old printers or disk drives. However, it isn’t always clear how to connect to some strange motor with no markings or ...

Early incarnations of the electric motor first appeared in the 1740s through the work of Scottish Benedictine monk and scientist, Andrew Gordon. Other scientists such as Michael Faraday and Joseph ...
