Stepper and servo motors have different attributes when considered for motion applications. Torque curves play an important role in selecting the proper size and type of motor for an application.

Several different styles of stepper motors in different NEMA sizes. CNC machine centers offer many benefits over manual machining such as greater productivity, precision production, and reduced labor ...

Stepper motor linear actuators (SMLAs) combine a stepper motor, precision lead screw and nut in one compact envelope, providing a highly configurable, customizable and robust system for linear motion.

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 ...

Engineers rely on motion-control devices to improve efficiencies and production rates on automated factory floors, or at least maintain them. One family of such devices, stepper motors, is widely used ...
