[Kevin Lynagh] is interested in tiny PCB stepper motors, and after reviewing the various projects and patents to-date, decided to give it a try himself. These are basically a stepper motor that’s been ...

[Tobias Kuhn] had watched a YouTube video about a robot arm which used servo motors, and wanted to try making one himself. But he found it hard to get slow or smooth movements out of the servos. Even ...

It is an engineering truism that there is no such thing as a perfect solution—just the best solution for the problem at hand. That holds particularly true for servo motors and stepper motors. Both are ...

Stepper motors produce accurate, computer-controlled motion for applications such as robotic arms and paper-feed mechanisms for printers. They require current pulses delivered through a special ...

Advancements in automation and artificial intelligence (AI) are driving innovation in robotics, allowing them to expand into new industries with the emergence of smaller and smarter robotic designs.

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 ...

Stepper motors are often used for positioning since they are cost-effective, easy to drive, and can be used in open-loop systems—meaning that they don’t require position feedback like servo motors.

Three series of MAE brand hybrid stepper motors in various standard NEMA frame sizes are engineered to deliver accurate open loop control for a wide range of high-performance positioning applications.

I have a robot underway that has a bunch of small stepper motors in it. I'd like to connect things in such a way that the steppers can be repeatedly plugged in and unplugged using a user-visible plug ...

Humanoid robots are offering increasingly promising solutions to manufacturing companies that can calculate the ROI (Return on Investment) with improved productivity, product quality, and employee ...
