Motors / Controllers

Motors exist in almost all aspects of our modern life, from the vehicles we drive to the machines we use to wash our clothes – even being prevalent in other household objects like toothbrushes! This abundance of motors is certainly not a bad thing though, and they are incredible components that can used for all kinds of different applications.

 From standard rotational applications to linear motion, and even some relatively unique use cases like robotic arms and the vibration components in mobile devices, motors offer an incredibly diverse level functionality, and this is extended even further with specially designed controller boards. These controller boards allow you to use motors in more advanced ways, and they allow for amazing machines like 3D Printers to be created from simple motors and linear motion components. As such, when using the various types of motors like Stepper Motors or Servo Motors, alongside great quality Controller Boards like the Smoothieboard range or MakerBase boards, you can achieve some truly marvellous results that simply cannot be achieved by any other components.

Whether you’re building your own robot, a custom 3D Printer, an adjustable standing desk, or even automatically sorting shelves, motors and controllers are some of the key ingredients that let your software effectively control your hardware.
