Micro Stepper Motors: Key Features and Benefits for Diverse Applications

Designers turn to stepper motors when they need to move a load a precise position and hold that position without jitter. Stepper motors focus microscopes, position lasers, keep CNC machining operations steady, adjust vehicle mirrors and hold them in place, put laser jet printheads in the right spots, and pump volumetrically precise amounts of medical fluids.

In this guide, we’ll review the basics and operation of stepper motors, selecting a stepper and advantages and disadvantages of using stepper motors.
