- Stepping motors
- A motor that is rotated in units of a certain step angle by pulse electrical power. The rotation angle varies with the number of input pulses and the rotation speed varies with the input frequency so operating of a stepping motor can be controlled without feedback. Stepping motors are widely used as drive sources for positioning control in factory automation and office automation related equipment.
