Step motor life is usually determined by the life of the bearings. Bearings are often specified to give an “L10” life (outside the USA, it may be referred to as “B10” life.) This is the life at which ten percent of the bearings in that application can be expected to have failed due to classical fatigue […]

• 2 Phase Motors A typical driving pattern for a two coil bipolar stepper motor would be: A+ B+ A- B-. I.e. drive coil A with positive current, then remove current from coil A; then drive coil B with positive current, then remove current from coil B; then drive coil A with negative current, then […]

One of the biggest problems Engineers face while designing ever-smaller devices is making things move. As the size of equipment decreases, the demand for smaller motors increase. However, oftentimes small enough motors simply don’t exist, and if they do, they do not provide enough torque or speed to be useful in the application. Often, the […]

Encapsulation Technology From MOONS’ Offers Many Advantages Ideal for Security Cameras In addition to all the advantages of normal step motors, these new encapsulated motors can help achieve a breakthrough in miniaturization of security cameras. Small step motors are a core component in security camera systems. With MOONS’ encapsulation technology, the 36mm diameter motor is now available with […]
