Stepper motors

 

1) Digitaly controlled brushless motor that rotate a specific number of degrees (a step).

2) Number of degrees (resolution) can be between .72 to 90 degrees. General purpose steppers have a resolution of 15 or 30 degrees a step.

3) High precision, low torque.

4) Stepper motor control ICs are widely available which can control speed, direction and position.
