[Tobias Kuhn] had watched a YouTube video about a robot arm which used servo motors, and wanted to try making one himself. But he found it hard to get slow or smooth movements out of the servos. Even ...

If you’ve been reading Hack a Day for long enough, you know about our infatuation with stepper motors. These precious little devices put the oomph into our CNC routers, 3D printers, robots, and other ...

AutomationDirect has added stepper motor linear actuators to its SureStep line of stepper motion control products. These linear actuators are NEMA 17 or NEMA 23 frame stepper motors with a ...

The growing availability of customizable options for motors allows engineers to tailor motors to specific application needs, while modular designs simplify integration and reduce development time.

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.

Advancements in automation and artificial intelligence (AI) are driving innovation in robotics, allowing them to expand into new industries with the emergence of smaller and smarter robotic designs.

Stepper motors are available in several versions and sizes with a variety of operating voltages. The advantage of this general-purpose controller is that is can be used with a wide range of operating ...

I’m a technician for a company that manufactures gimbaled camera systems for UAVs—the spy in the sky—unmanned aircraft that have been widely used in the war on ...
