The fundamental circuit shown in Figure 1 generates timing for a two-phase stepper motor from an oscillator, as well as a direction (forward or reverse) signal. Figure 2 depicts the typical timing ...

Different types of motors need different types of drivers. Requirements for a variety of applications. Selecting the right motor driver is crucial to achieving the required functionality and ...

Stepper motors resemble servo motors in that both types are characterized by an ability to rotate a partial turn and then stop for any interval with or without holding torque. In addition, both motor ...

The circuit in Figure 1 provides slewing control for stepper motors that you use in sophisticated applications, such as monochromator movements in optical experiments. The LM331 VFC plays a vital role ...

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 contain coil windings that require resistance measurements. Measuring resistance in a production environment often requires some special circuits that minimize errors. Resistance is ...
