Hybrid stepper motors combine the operating principles of variable reluctance with permanent-magnet stepper motors. The rotor shaft holds one or more pairs of stacked laminations containing many teeth ...

Rotary motor motion is usually converted to linear through rack and pinion sets, belts and pulleys, and other mechanical linkages. These are effective but limited systems. In contrast, integrated ...

The new PF25 stepper motor measures 25 mm in diameter and integrates a lead screw shaft. It is available with either Anisotropic ferrite or neodymium magnets. Motors using neodymium magnets have a ...

The internal combustion engine is found in traditional cars as the main traction element disappears and is replaced by new solutions, with electric motor and batteries at the center of the scene. This ...

Part 1 in a series of articles on motor control design starts with an introduction to motors and controllers. Electric motors consume almost half of the electricity produced worldwide. They, in fact, ...

Over the last 2 years [Carl Bujega] has made a name for himself with his PCB motor designs. His latest adventure is to turn it into a stepper motor by adding position control with microstepping. The ...

It’s not news that the automotive industry’s shift toward electrification is a huge technical challenge. However, the electrification itself represents just one part of a complex puzzle for the ...

Stepper motors are now being used more frequently in industrial environments. Increased performance and reduced size make them increasingly attractive, and their application is no longer limited to ...
