We’ve all heard linear motors, like those propelling Maglev trains, described as “unrolled” versions of regular electric motors. The analogy is apt and helps to understand how a linear motor works, ...

Over on hackaday.io and deep in the Hackaday Prize, a lot of cool people are playing around with the possibilities of putting coils in printed circuit boards. On the face of it, it makes sense: ...

The fundamental circuit shown in Figure 1 generates timing for a two-phase stepper motor from an oscillator, as well as a direction (forward or reverse) signal. Figure... The fundamental circuit shown ...

Joining the company's ARSAPE product line is the ADM 0620 stepper motor. Its 6-mm outer diameter, 9.3-mm length, and 1.4-gm weight make it the smallest, produced in series, two-phase stepper motor in ...

The ADM 0620 two-phase stepper motor from MicroMo Electronics Inc., a company within the Faulhaber Group based in Clearwater, Fla., sets a new standard for compactness. The ADM 0620 two-phase stepper ...

Worcester, Mass. – Combining low-power CMOS logic with high-current, high-voltage power FET outputs, the Series SLA706xM translators/drivers from Allegro Microsystems Inc. provides a complete control ...
