As the shift to automation continues to gain momentum in the industrial sector, servo motors and stepper motors with electric actuators become ever more important. When selecting a motor for an ...

Stepper and servo motors have different attributes when considered for motion applications. Torque curves play an important role in selecting the proper size and type of motor for an application.

As a Machine Design article notes, the key to effectively specifying the right step motor is to find the balance between efficient operations and performance limitations. “[The term “Maximize torque ...

The importance of motor trajectory profiles and how they’re used in brushless DC (BLDC) motor control to minimize vibration and smooth out other performance issues. Why the PID loop is the most widely ...

Before choosing between a two-phase or five-phase step motor, take a closer look at the application's requirements and the motor's capabilities. More is not always better, but more phases certainly ...
