We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Stepping Motor",
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 Motor drive offers speed and smoothness from
Micromech, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Danaher Motion P7000 stepping motor drive is suitable for single or multi-axis applications that demand high-speed performance or low-speed smoothness".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Robots offer flexibility at a low cost from
Acal TC: "The Janome JSR4400N can increase productivity in a wide range of assembly applications, including those with limited space".
In January 2007, we covered the news from Namiki Precision Jewel Co
concerning its Model 7039 diaphragm pump
- take a look at Adjustable flow pump released
which says: "Namiki Precision Jewel has released a miniature, adjustable flow rate, liquid pump".
Take a look also at the news release from LM76 Linear Motion Bearings, Stepper-driven stages positioned on the shelf,
as well as Steppers smooth out speed, vibration and noise from Oriental Motor,
and Actuator cuts chunk out of test rig development from Oriental Motor.
