We always think it is interesting that a regular DC motor and a generator are about the same thing. Sure, each is optimized for its purpose, but inefficiencies aside, you can use electricity to rot… ...

Titanio series stepper drives from Ever Motion Solutions include three new drives available with two open-loop (no encoder ...

Festo’s new stepper motor series — EMMT-ST — features absolute encoders, IP65 protection, holding brakes and control via a single cable. OEMs have the choice of an absolute single-turn encoder or ...

Board turns a stepper into a servo Trinamic Motion Control claims to be making the “smallest single-axis servo controller-driver module with integrated motion control”. TMCM-1321, as it is known, ...

JVL QuickStep closed-loop integrated stepper motors provide higher torque, faster acceleration, torque control, stall free operation and quieter movements than traditional step motor systems.

As encoders became smaller and cheaper, stepper motors were often replaced by cheaper, simpler, quieter DC motors coupled with encoders for measuring their position.
