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 ...

Closed loop steppers are now finding adoption in a range of cost sensitive applications such as medical and lab automation, textile machinery, circuit board production, and pick and place machines ...

Manufacturers apply the term “closed-loop stepper” to a wide array of controls. Here, we’ll spell out how the three most common closed-loop stepper control schemes work and highlight their advantages ...

It’s little secret that stepper motors are everywhere in FDM 3D printers, but there’s no real reason why you cannot take another type of DC motor like a brushless DC (BLDC) motor and use that instead.

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) defines a servo device as “an adjustable-speed AC power drive system that includes an AC motor integrated by feedback, a converter, and control, ...

You have a project that needs something to move. Should you use a stepper motor or a servo motor? [Matthias] has an opinion, and you can hear his thoughts in the video below. One tip we’ll take away ...
