Trinamic Motion Control GmbH & Co. KG, now part of Maxim Integrated Products, Inc., has claimed the smallest and lowest-power single-axis servo controller/driver module with integrated motion control.

Trinamic Motion Control GmbH & Co. KG has introduced two new driver products that offer complete solutions for driving and controlling high-power stepper motors. The TMCM-1278 smart stepper motor ...

Motor controllers in general and especially closed-loop controllers have come a very long way in the past few years. Control flexibility, adaptability, and strategies that were only dreamed of or very ...

The compact and rugged unit for bipolar two-phase stepper motors can operate with motor coil currents of 0.7 A up to 7 A RMS (9.8 A peak) and voltages of 15 V to max 75 V. Parameterisation requires no ...

TRINAMIC’s new IC, the TMC2660, supports motor drive currents up to 4 A while integrating both a pre-driver for real-time calculation of motor coil current values, and power MOSFETS for amplification ...

When you think about highly-precise actuators, stepper motors probably aren’t the first device that comes to mind. However, as [Diffraction Limited]’s sub-micron capable micro-manipulator shows, they ...

Very similar types are available from several manufacturers. It is based on a pair of BTS7960 half-bridges from Infineon, with a cmos logic chip included to give them a clean drive from external ...

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) defines a servo device as “an adjustable-speed AC power drive system that includes an AC motor integrated by feedback, a converter, and control, ...

The Stepstick and Pololu motor drivers are the heart of just about every Reprap electronics board, but they can go bad. The usual way of testing these things is to rig up a microcontroller on a ...
