It is an engineering truism that there is no such thing as a perfect solution—just the best solution for the problem at hand. That holds particularly true for servo motors and stepper motors. Both are ...

Sensorless control of stepper motors, in which the speed of the rotor is determined through a virtual encoder within the controller, is possible, claims German firm Nanotec. “This enables the stepper ...

Motor controllers in general and especially closed-loop controllers have come a very long way in the past few years. Control flexibility, adaptability, and strategies that were only dreamed of or very ...

As usual, the needs of the application play a major role in determining which is the best type of motor to use. As the shift to automation continues to gain momentum in the industrial sector, servo ...

Is it something in the water, or have there been a lot of really cool servo projects lately? Mechaduino is a board that sits on a regular stepper motor and turns it into a servo with a closed loop ...

Note: This specialization requires purchase of a hardware kit in order to apply your knowledge and skill with real world tools. The hardware will be used to complete the lab exercises across the four ...

A new open source servo stepper designed for makers and developers has been launched via Kickstarter this week offering industrial reliability in an affordable open source design. The AnanasStepper ...
