Trinamic Motion Control GmbH & Co. KG has introduced two new driver products that offer complete solutions for driving and controlling high-power stepper motors. The TMCM-1278 smart stepper motor ...

Trinamic Motion Control GmbH & Co. KG, now part of Maxim Integrated Products, Inc., has claimed the smallest and lowest-power single-axis servo controller/driver module with integrated motion control.

The compact and rugged unit for bipolar two-phase stepper motors can operate with motor coil currents of 0.7 A up to 7 A RMS (9.8 A peak) and voltages of 15 V to max 75 V. Parameterisation requires no ...

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 ...

TRINAMIC’s new IC, the TMC2660, supports motor drive currents up to 4 A while integrating both a pre-driver for real-time calculation of motor coil current values, and power MOSFETS for amplification ...

Mikroe has added a smart 85V 10A stepper motor driver to its range of interchangeable ‘Click’ boards. Called Power Step 2 Click, the board “is based on the powerSTEP01, a 1/128 microstepping ...

When you think about highly-precise actuators, stepper motors probably aren’t the first device that comes to mind. However, as [Diffraction Limited]’s sub-micron capable micro-manipulator shows, they ...

Very similar types are available from several manufacturers. It is based on a pair of BTS7960 half-bridges from Infineon, with a cmos logic chip included to give them a clean drive from external ...

We’ve seen plenty of motor projects, but [Jeremy]’s DIY Tubular Linear Motor is a really neat variety of stepper motor in a format we certainly don’t see every day. It started as a design experiment ...
