Modern stepper motor drivers feature microstepping, a driving technique that squeezes arbitrary numbers of microsteps into every single full-step of a stepper motor, which noticeably reduces ...

Figure 1 shows a typical 2-phase hybrid motor. It’s possible to move a stepper motor less than a full step. This process, called microstepping, is accomplished by modulating the current through the ...

The lure of microstepping a stepper motor for precision must be tempered by torque considerations. The lure of microstepping a two-phase stepper motor is compelling. For instance, microstepping a ...

Microstepping is a major advancement in step motor technology introduced many years ago that allows motors to make finer steps in movement. By manipulating the current vector, microstepping ...

Here's a simple algorithm that uses conventional microcontroller blocks to control commercially available H-bridges to properly commutate a bipolar stepper motor through a microstepping profile.

Allegro MicroSystems, Inc. introduces a new motor driver IC designed to drive one winding of a bipolar stepper motor in a microstepping mode. Allegro MicroSystems, Inc. introduces a new motor ...

Allegro MicroSystems, LLC has unveiled a new, flexible microstepping motor driver with a built in translator for easy operation. Allegro’s A4992 is a single chip solution designed to operate bipolar ...

Developed to control the motion of a single axis in microstepping applications, the Pilot MC3410 CMOS chip requires a 5V supply and is driven by a host microprocessor through an asynchronous bi ...

Motion Control Products Ltd is launching the DMD556 next-generation digital microstepping drive that is claimed to benefit from unprecedented audio noise reduction (by 70%) and smooth low-speed ...
