This application note describes how to implement an exact linear speed controller for stepper motors. The stepper motor is an electromagnetic device that converts digital pulses into mechanical shaft ...

Motor controllers in general and especially closed-loop controllers have come a very long way in the past few years. Control flexibility, adaptability, and strategies that were only dreamed of or very ...

Bipolar stepper motors are used in many applications, from driving paper through a printer to moving an XY stage in industrial equipment. Typically, the motors are driven and controlled by inexpensive ...

Top 3 Chinese Hybrid Stepper Motor Manufacturers in 2026 Based on comprehensive analysis of production capacity, technological innovation, global market penetration, product portfolio depth, and ...

Here's a simple algorithm that uses conventional microcontroller blocks to control commercially available H-bridges to properly commutate a bipolar stepper motor through a microstepping profile.

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.

Note: This specialization requires purchase of a hardware kit in order to apply your knowledge and skill with real world tools. The hardware will be used to complete the lab exercises across the four ...

It’s little secret that stepper motors are everywhere in FDM 3D printers, but there’s no real reason why you cannot take another type of DC motor like a brushless DC (BLDC) motor and use that instead.

Not missing a beat: Here we take a look at why open-loop steppers lose steps, as well as some solutions to the problem. As in the below) half-stepping produces eight steps per electrical rotation — ...
