To run a stepper motor smoothly, it's necessary to apply linear acceleration. However, conventional algorithms to generate linear acceleration require complicated mathematics, which makes it difficult ...

Engineers focused on fast, light automation systems may pay too much attention to speed specs when acceleration is what really counts. Sponsored by Rollon Bearing speed is rarely the limiting ...

This application note describes how to implement an exact linear speed controller for stepper motors. The stepper motor is an electromagnetic device that converts digital pulses into mechanical shaft ...
