We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Stepper Motors", and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest. Let me be your guide.
 
Start with the news release Precision servos expand motion control options from Total Motion Systems, which we summarised at the time by saying "Servomotor range covers continuous torque from from 0.1 to 44Nm, with peak values up to three-times continuous rating, powered by a range of analogue and digital drives". Earlier in the week, we featured the news release Three-phase stepper is a smooth runner from Astrosyn International Technology: "Three-phase layout enables the stepper motor to provide very quiet, smooth motion as well as high accuracy, with a step angle of 1.2 degrees".
 
In January 2008, we covered the news from JVL Industri Elektronik - take a look at Servo and stepper models ease system design which says: "System designers can now download dimensionally correct CAD models of steppers and servomotors from the JVL website".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Total Motion Systems, Website receives motion control upgrade, as well as Servos shrink to smaller square frames from Baldor UK, and Steppers solve wiring conundrum from McLennan Servo Supplies.
