Stepper motors are impressive little engines that may not be getting the credit they deserve, as they are a relatively important part of our electronic lives. Printers and CNC machines are ...

Stepper motors are often used for positioning since they are cost-effective, easy to drive, and can be used in open-loop systems—meaning that they don’t require position feedback like servo motors.

(CNN) — I confess that like a lot of people, I am guilty of not getting in my steps. After hours at my desk, the thought of changing, driving to the gym and working out is so exhausting that I end up ...

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 ...

One of the more critical decisions engineers can make when designing any type of motion control process is choosing the motor. Getting the right motor, both in terms of type and size, is imperative to ...

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 ...
