Allegro MicroSystems, LLC revealed a new low voltage bipolar stepper or dual DC motor driver IC. The A3916 device was designed for pulse-width-modulated (PWM) control of low-voltage stepper motors or ...

Playing the guitar requires speed, strength, and dexterity in both hands. Depending on your mobility level, rocking out with your axe might be impossible unless you could somehow hold down the strings ...

Here's a simple algorithm that uses conventional microcontroller blocks to control commercially available H-bridges to properly commutate a bipolar stepper motor through a microstepping profile.

The new PJE series of bipolar hybrid stepper motors from Nippon Pulse America Inc. are available in sizes from 20 to 86 mm in diameter (NEMA sizes 8 to 34). The motors provide high torque in each of ...

Even veteran engineers often suffer from a lot of misconceptions about stepper motors and how to drive them. This article will focus on clearing up just a few of these misunderstandings so that ...

MIKROE’s Stepper 28 Click is a compact add-on development board that enables precise control of two-phase bipolar stepper motors with supply voltages from 8.2 to 44 V. Capable of delivering up to ...

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 ...

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 project drives a bipolar stepper motor with the use of a dual H-bridge IS such as the SN754410. The bipolar stepper motors are usually identified on most steppers with 4 wires. Measuring the ...
