The primary feature of stepper motors is listed right within their name: their ability to ‘step’ forwards and backwards, something which they (ideally) can do perfectly in sync with the input provided ...

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 ...

The first installment of this two-part series focused on debugging brushed-DC motor systems. Now the second installment will share some tips for stepper motor systems and provide general bench testing ...

Illustrated in this project is the use of stepper motors in order to generate electricity that may be used to power LEDs, charge some batteries or even drive a motor. Illustrated in this project is ...

Discover how to create a simple electric motor using everyday materials in this step-by-step tutorial. Learn how to build a homemade DC motor by winding copper wire into coils, constructing a custom ...

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.
