Getting all components of a system to function together like a finely tuned engine is a long and exhausting process. There are many reasons why all components will not work in harmony. This paper discusses the issue of inaccuracy in a system and indentifies the two main culprits: the step motor and the driver.

Stepper motors are some of the most sophisticated motors used in the most challenging applications today. They require high step accuracy, high resolution and smooth motion all in a very compact size. In addition, stepper motors must often be customized to achieve optimum performance in a specific application. This paper discusses how the use of Loctite adhesives has helped increase quality and reduce cost in the manufacturing of Lin step motors.

When selecting a step motor for an application in the medical industry, many factors need to be considered. Although the requirements for step motors vary from application to application, some requirements should be generally considered as a rule of thumb. This paper discusses the general requirements for a motor being used in the medical industry.

Many different drivers are available in the market place; each with both their advantages and disadvantages. This paper discusses the inaccuracies that exist in most drivers and how the R325, with the patent pending Pole Damping Technology, overcomes these inaccuracies.

Smooth and quiet operation is simply a must for many step motor applications. Engineers spend a lot of time going through many motors before finding one that might do the job. This paper discusses a patented winding created by Lin Engineering to reduce noise and increase smooth motion.Many different drivers are available in the market place; each with both their advantages and disadvantages. This paper discusses the inaccuracies that exist in most drivers and how the R325, with the patent pending Pole Damping Technology, overcomes these inaccuracies.

Often times when an engineer is selecting a step motor for his or her application, one important decision that needs to be made is whether or not to choose a 0.9° or a 1.8° step motor. This paper discusses the differences between the two types.

Step motor terminology can be confusing for all engineers; both at the novice and the advanced level. With so much technical jargon floating around, it’s hard to stay up to date with everything. However, getting to know the terminology that is associated with your specific application is of the utmost importance. This paper discusses the difference between two popular terms in the motion control industry: Amps Phase and Amps Peak Current.

When selecting a step motor for an application in the semi-conductor industry, many factors need to be considered. Although the requirements for step motors vary from application to application, some requirements should be generally considered as a rule of thumb. This paper discusses the general requirements for a motor being used in the semi-conductor industry.
