AutomationDirect has added the new Titanio series of stepper drives from Ever Motion Solutions that work with AutomationDirect SureStep stepper motors. Unlike typical stepper drives, Titanio steppers ...

AutomationDirect has added a high voltage AC drive and compatible high torque motors to its stepping system motion control product offering. The AC stepper drive is powered from 90 to 240VAC and is ...

One of the most important choices engineers make while developing new platforms for machine tools is deciding which type of motor to use. Direct drive motors have always been seen as a technological ...

Engineers rely on motion-control devices to improve efficiencies and production rates on automated factory floors, or at least maintain them. One family of such devices, stepper motors, is widely used ...

Stepper motors are often used for positioning since they are cost-effective, easy to drive, and can be used in open-loop systems—meaning that they don’t require position feedback like servo motors.
