Introduction to Stepper Motors

A stepper motor is an electromechanical device which converts electrical pulses into discrete mechanical movements. The shaft of a stepper motor rotates in discrete step increments when electrical command pulses are applied to it in the proper sequence. Stepper motors are the easiest devices for precise positioning control. They are wildly being used in various application for position […]
