The X20SM1436-1 module from B&R can be used to operate stepper motors with operating voltages of 18-60 VDC at rated currents up to 2.5 A. In addition, an integrated current reduction function ...

In this post I would like to briefly share my thoughts on a stepper motor tester module I purchased a few weeks ago. The cheap module I purchased is the Makerbase MKS ...

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 ...

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 ...

Even veteran engineers often suffer from a lot of misconceptions about stepper motors and how to drive them. This article will focus on clearing up just a few of these misunderstandings so that ...

The module’s mounting plate measures a 64 × 60mm (2.5 × 2.4 in.) with mounting hole center-to-center distances of 52 × 38mm (2.0 × 1.5 in.), respectively.
