We’ve all heard linear motors, like those propelling Maglev trains, described as “unrolled” versions of regular electric motors. The analogy is apt and helps to understand how a linear motor works, ...

Toshiba Electronics Europe GmbH has launched the TB67S579FTG, a next-generation stepper motor driver IC featuring Advanced Microstep Technology. This two-phase, bipolar stepper motor driver utilises a ...

[TBJ] is building what he calls a junkbox 3D printer. You can probably guess that he’s trying to salvage most of the parts for the device, and after pulling a stepper motor from an old printer he was ...

TMC2209 is a stepper motor driver chip from German firm Trinamic that I suspect folk interested in the insides of 3D printers will be hearing a lot more about in the near future. In many printers, the ...

Stepper motors are fascinating and incredibly important to having automation or robotics in the here and now. The precise terms of their name refer to how they work that is; a motor will turn one step ...

Bipolar stepper motors provide precise position control while operating in an open loop. Industrial automation applications—such as robots and processing and packaging machinery—and consumer ...
