Bipolar stepper motors provide precise position control while operating in an open loop. Industrial automation applications—such as robots and processing and packaging machinery—and consumer ...

Stepper motors are often used for positioning since they are cost-effective, easy to drive, and can be used in open-loop systems—meaning that they don’t require position feedback like servo motors.

Today's automobiles often include headlamps with dynamic position control. For high intensity discharge (HID) Xenon lamps, this function is considered critical, and safety regulations in Europe ...
