Applied Motion Products solved heat problems associated with a peristaltic pump system that supplies materials to a bioreactor by replacing open-loop step motors with closed-loop step motors. A ...

StepSERVO closed loop integrated motors from Applied Motion Products control position, velocity and torque for higher acceleration rates and faster machine cycles in food & beverage applications.

Bipolar stepper motors provide precise position control while operating in an open loop. Industrial automation applications—such as robots and processing and packaging machinery—and consumer ...

Closed-loop control of stepping motors integrates feedback from position or current observers to achieve high precision, rapid response and robustness against load disturbances. Unlike traditional ...

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 ...

Stepper motors are now being used more frequently in industrial environments. Increased performance and reduced size make them increasingly attractive, and their application is no longer limited to ...

Proper evaluation of torque margins across the full motion profile prevents stalling and ensures consistent performance under varying load and speed conditions. Mechanical resonance can cause ...

When it’s time to specify a high-performance motor that offers both precise positioning and cost efficiency, stepper motors offer many advantages over DC motors thanks to their brushless technology.

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.

The importance of motor trajectory profiles and how they’re used in brushless DC (BLDC) motor control to minimize vibration and smooth out other performance issues. Why the PID loop is the most widely ...
