If you’ve been a good little hacker and have been tearing apart old printers like you’re supposed to, you’ve probably run across more than a few stepper motors. These motors come in a variety of ...

The SLA7070MPRT series are unipolar two-phase stepper motor driver integrated circuits (ICs). This device uses a clock input method as a control signal input method, enabling full control of the ...

The DRV8805 provides an integrated solution for driving unipolar stepper motors. It includes four low side drivers with overcurrent protection and provides built-in diodes to clamp turn-off transients ...

are well suited for this device. The stepper controller can also run the motor in continuous rotation mode by giving it a large position address.

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 ...

The 3000's small size (63.6 26.4 mm) makes it a candidate for robots and other industrial control equipment. The controllers can drive unipolar stepper motors in full two-phase, full one-phase, and ...

All of the motors measure 21mm from front to back, plus 8mm of shaft protrusion. In each case there is a standard and a higher holding-torque variant, for example: the 42mm 200mNm HS17HX7L4100 and its ...

There are a lot of fun projects you can do with stepper motors salvaged from old printers or disk drives. However, it isn’t always clear how to connect to some strange motor with no markings or ...

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 ...

For applications where the microprocessor is overburdened or absent, the SLA7051M constant-current, two-phase unipolar stepper motor driver includes a built-in translator, allowing it to run ...
