Standard Motor Products, Inc. (SMP) continues to add to its growing Electronic Parking Brake Actuator program. Parking brake actuators are one of the fastest-growing categories in the automotive ...

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 ...

Find out the difference between stepper motors and servo motors for your motion application.

How optical rotary encoders can provide real-time motion feedback on motion applications using stepper motor-driven linear actuators. Stepper motor linear actuators with added optical encoders (From ...

Thomson SMLAs use a stepper motor and lead screw shaft to translate rotary motion to linear motion for all three configurations: linear actuator, rotating screw and rotating nut. Previously, designers ...

The system include microprocessor, stepper motor driven jet valves and hydraulic cylinder. Modeling the system that describes the actuator operation and the digital strategies is crucial to developing ...

When designing a motion control system using stepper motors, do not assume that the holding torque of motor still applies when microstepping.

In this paper, we propose to solve the digital control problem in hydraulic actuator using a stepper motor to obtain accurate control with fast response. The system include microprocessor, stepper ...
