WATSONVILLE, CA – Applied Motion Products introduces the STR, a new drive engineered to deliver the features expected by today’s machine builders, at a price they need. The STR step motor drives, ...

Increasingly elaborate Rube Goldberg schemes for controlling step-motors have developed over the years that try to pace stepping to avoid missteps. This direction of development is fundamentally ...

In 1960, the large-angle type PM step motor was the most used step motor. This two-phase, bifilar wound PM step motor (top) advanced 45° mechanical with each pulse from the drive, while by 1962 PM ...

Step motor control offers a powerful alternative in the right applications. Step motors are popular first and foremost because they are easy to use. They do not require an encoder to maintain their ...

The STM is a drive+motor+control unit, fusing step motor, drive, and controller technologies into a single device, offering savings on space, wiring and cost over conventional motor and drive ...

What if a single innovation could redefine how we think about electric motors, making them not just marginally better but insanely efficient? Imagine an electric vehicle (EV) that accelerates with ...

Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. Microstepping a two-phase stepper motor requires the winding currents to be 90° out-of- phase so that the stepper ...

The TSM14POE StepSERVO from Applied Motion includes a motor, encoder, drive, and controller combined in a single integrated motor package. Eliminating the need to connect motor power and feedback ...
