Stepper Motors: Fundamentals, Applications and Design

This is the first Indian publication devoted solely to stepper motors. It covers all aspects of stepper motors: construction, operation and characteristics of stepper motors; electronic as well as microprocessor based controllers for stepper motors; stepper motor applications in control, instrumentation, computer peripheral devices, CNC systems, robotics, etc.; and stepper motor analysis and design. Furthermore, the book contains certain special features which have appeared, perhaps for the first time, in a book of this nature such as the latest REMP disk magnet stepper motor micro-stepping controller, etc. Certain Indian contributions to stepper motor controller technology have been highlighted in microprocessor-based controllers for stepper motor. For practising engineers and students, selection and sizing of stepper motor has been discussed in detail and illustrated with typical illustrative examples.
