The primary feature of stepper motors is listed right within their name: their ability to ‘step’ forwards and backwards, something which they (ideally) can do perfectly in sync with the… ...

The new I/O module controls stepper motors with Modbus/TCP, Ethernet/IP or PROFINET interface to host PC, PLC or PAC.

Understanding bipolar stepper motors will give engineers the confidence they need when selecting a driver. Even veteran engineers often suffer from a lot of misconceptions about stepper motors and ...

A larger mismatch will cause the motor to lose pulses, miss position, draw excessive current, or even stall. Tips 7 and 8 courtesy of Dan Wolke and Lee Stephens of Kollmorgen Understand stall ...
