Engineers rely on motion-control devices to improve efficiencies and production rates on automated factory floors, or at least maintain them. One family of such devices, stepper motors, is widely used ...

Several different styles of stepper motors in different NEMA sizes. CNC machine centers offer many benefits over manual machining such as greater productivity, precision production, and reduced labor ...

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 ...

Part 2 in a series of articles on motor control design focuses on how to reduce noise, one of the biggest challenges, in stepper motors. The amount of noise in a motor depends on the type of motor, ...
