We always think it is interesting that a regular DC motor and a generator are about the same thing. Sure, each is optimized for its purpose, but inefficiencies aside, you can use electricity to rotate ...

How optical rotary encoders can provide real-time motion feedback on motion applications using stepper motor-driven linear actuators. Stepper motor linear actuators with added optical encoders (From ...

The new SC Series from Nanotec Electronic is an out-of-the-box combination of a stepper motor with an optical encoder. The new SC Series from Nanotec Electronic is an out-of-the-box combination of a ...

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 ...

Trinamic Motion Control claims to be making the “smallest single-axis servo controller-driver module with integrated motion control”. TMCM-1321, as it is known, controls two-phase bipolar stepper ...
