When most engineers hear the term motor they most-naturally think of rotating arrangements such as brushed DC, brushless DC, stepper, or variable-frequency prime movers. But a motor doesn’t have to be ...

Isolating problems in the control circuitIn Part 1 of this two-part series, we presented a 3-phase, 480VAC motor circuit with its associated controls (Figure). We stepped through a logical, systematic ...

To run a stepper motor smoothly, it's necessary to apply linear acceleration. However, conventional algorithms to generate linear acceleration require complicated mathematics, which makes it difficult ...
