Specifically designed to be used in satellites and spacecraft, vacuum rated motors can be used for communications antennas as well as vehicle controls. The harsh environment of vacuum and microgravity ...

A stepper motor driver provides up to 5 A per phase from a high bus voltage with sophisticated current control, delivering high torque over a range of speeds. The STAC5 is intended for use in such ...

This application note demonstrates how increasing the slew rate of the winding currents in a bipolar stepper motor causes it to deliver more torque at high speeds. To view the application note, click ...

Afamily of unipolar, twophase, stepper-motor driver ICs is designed to simplify peripheral circuitry design and reduce space while maintaining good reliability. The SLA7070MPR Series, developed by ...

Stepper motors are inexpensive and rugged because they have fewer mechanical parts. They are brushless, easy to position, and are commonly used in automation systems, although they are small low power ...

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 ...

A series of linear stepper motors can provide constant positioning force to 400 N over full travel lengths of 300 mm. The Saia ULE Series is available in unipolar or bipolar configurations and can ...

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 ...

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 ...
