Nanotec will reportedly be the first manufacturer in the world to launch a sensorless control for stepper motors in which the speed of the rotor is determined by means of a "virtual encoder" within ...

Sensorless control of stepper motors, in which the speed of the rotor is determined through a virtual encoder within the controller, is possible, claims German firm Nanotec. “This enables the stepper ...

Nanotec has introduced a driver for stepper and brush-less dc (BLDC) motors with sensor-less closed-loop and field-oriented control (FOC). Intended for steppers from NEMA 14 to NEMA 34 and BLDC motors ...

Motor control ICs deliver higher efficiency, along with AI/ML functionality for improvements in predictive maintenance.

In addition, an integrated current reduction function increases performance and reduces energy consumption. With the current reduction function comes integrated sensorless, load-dependent current ...

For maximum efficiency, the boundary conditions of the complete electro-mechanical system should be mapped During the optimization of a stepper-motor-based motion control system design an engineer ...

The primary feature of stepper motors is listed right within their name: their ability to ‘step’ forwards and backwards, something which they (ideally) can do perfectly in sync with the input provided ...

AMI Semiconductor has expanded its family of single-chip stepper motor driver and controller ICs with two devices that incorporate sensorless stall detection. The new ICs will improve reliability and ...

[Davide Gironi] shows us how to implement a sensorless brushless DC motor controller (sensorless BLDC) using an ATmega8 microcontroller. In order to control a BLDC motor you need to know its ...

Step motors are a natural choice when design specs call for low-cost automation with accurate, open-loop control. But finding the right stepper for a given application can be a challenge. There’s a ...
