Nanotec will be the first manufacturer in the world to launch a sensorless control for stepper motors in which the speed of the rotor is determined by means of a "virtual encoder" within the ...

Nanotec has introduced a driver for stepper and brush-less dc (BLDC) motors with sensor-less closed-loop and field-oriented control (FOC). Intended for steppers from NEMA 14 to NEMA 34 and BLDC motors ...

AMI Semiconductor has expanded its family of single-chip stepper motor driver and controller ICs with two new devices that incorporate sensorless stall detection. The new ICs will improve reliability ...

AMI Semiconductor has announced two new single-chip stepper motor driver ICs that will significantly reduce component count and bill of materials (BOM) cost in dynamic motion applications. Devices ...

The X20SM1436-1 module from B&R can be used to operate stepper motors with operating voltages of 18-60 VDC at rated currents up to 2.5 A. In addition, an integrated current reduction function ...

The primary feature of stepper motors is listed right within their name: their ability to ‘step’ forwards and backwards, something which they (ideally) can do perfectly in sync with the input provided ...

AMI Semiconductor has expanded its family of single-chip stepper motor driver and controller ICs with two devices that incorporate sensorless stall detection. The new ICs will improve reliability and ...

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.

Trinamic Motion Control claims to be making the “smallest single-axis servo controller-driver module with integrated motion control”. TMCM-1321, as it is known, controls two-phase bipolar stepper ...
