Are all closed-loop stepper systems created equal?No. Some manufacturers give the closed-loop stepper systems similar-sounding descriptions, which confuses the marketplace. As proof of the confusion, it's not uncommon that a designer reque…

The decision between NEMA 23 and NEMA 34 motors is primarily a decision about productivity — NEMA 34 motors can remove material at a higher rate using higher feed rates and deeper cut depths. The style of motor you choose is not the determ…

Stepper motors are relatively simple mechanisms: A series of electromagnetic coils are activated in a specific sequence to spin a motor shaft a precise number of degrees. The NEMA specification is what allows stepper motors to be identifie…
