Different stepper motors have different numbers of steps. These can be extremely precise, we have a range which has up to 200 steps, which equates to just 1.8° per step. Stepper Motor Applications Stepper motors are particularly well suited to applications where control signals appear as...

A direct drive motor can be defined as any type of motor where the load is directly connected to the motor. They do not require any mechanical transmission elements such as couplings; the motor directly drives the load. Using a direct drive motor eliminates the need for belts, gearboxes, and pully...

They are a mechanical device used to transfer electrical power and signals from a stationary to a rotary system. They, therefore, simplify the operation of a system or improve mechanical performance. They are compact devices and suitable for applications where space is restricted. They are a good...
