Nanotec will reportedly be the first manufacturer in the world to launch a sensorless control for stepper motors in which the speed of the rotor is determined by means of a "virtual encoder" within ...

AMI Semiconductor has introduced two single-chip stepper motor driver and controller ICs, each offering sensorless stall detection. Target applications include headlamp leveling and swiveling and ...

In addition, an integrated current reduction function increases performance and reduces energy consumption. With the current reduction function comes integrated sensorless, load-dependent current ...

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 ...

Brushless motors are ubiquitous in RC applications and robotics, but are usually driven with low-cost motor controllers that have to be controlled with RC-style PWM signals and don’t allow for much ...

All of the motors measure 21mm from front to back, plus 8mm of shaft protrusion. In each case there is a standard and a higher holding-torque variant, for example: the 42mm 200mNm HS17HX7L4100 and its ...

AMI Semiconductor has expanded its family of single-chip stepper motor driver and controller ICs with two new devices that incorporate sensorless stall detection. The new ICs will improve reliability ...
