How stepper motors have enabled modern electronics

Supplied by Mouser Electronics on Tuesday, 06 September, 2016


Stepper motors provide the small, low-cost and precise motion needed for countless small to medium appliances that surround us. Their creation required the development of:
• small, powerful permanent magnets for the rotor
• semiconductor power devices to switch their coils on and off
• smart electronics to drive the switches with the correct sequence and timing.
