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.

Over time, in this column, we have touched upon several aspects of not only how to achieve higher levels of volumetric efficiency (as it relates to torque) but the importance of this feature in a ...

Servomotors and stepmotors are candidates for incremental control applications. Engineers should consider both types and determine which gives the best competitive edge for a given machine. Often, the ...
