Designers turn to stepper motors when they need to move a load a precise position and hold that position without jitter. Stepper motors focus microscopes, position lasers, keep CNC machining ...

When you think about highly-precise actuators, stepper motors probably aren’t the first device that comes to mind. However, as [Diffraction Limited]’s sub-micron capable micro-manipulator shows, they ...

Ordinary printers used in daily life can print flat objects designed by computers, and 3D printers work basically the same as ordinary printers, but the printing materials are a little different. The ...

Searching the multitude of available programmable motion controllers for one that is ideal for micro stepper motors with phase currents of sometimes less than 100 mA was once a real challenge. The new ...

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 ...

The question is: how to ‘cnc’ a manual Sieg X1 milling machine – the so called ‘micro mill’ that comes out in so many guises including the Clarke CMD10 featured here, available from Machine Mart, but ...

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 ...

Kevin Teresa based in Switzerland has created a new open source stepper motor driver board with 6A / phase and 48V capabilities enabling it to drive a wide variety of stepper motors from NEMA 17 to ...

Dublin, Jan. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Stepper Motors Market: Analysis By Type, By Motion Control, By Application, By Region Size and Trends and Forecast up to 2029" report has been added to ...

Today, your average desktop 3D printer is a mess of belts, leadscrews, and pulleys. For his Hackaday Prize entry, [DeepSOIC] is eliminating them entirely. How’s he doing this? With a linear stepper ...
