Stepper Motors

Stepper motors are specialised types of motors that utilise electromagnets for precision rotation in both clockwise and counter-clockwise directions. These magnets are arranged in cyclical patterns, and are turned on and off in a particular order to effectively turn the shaft to specific points, with each defined point referred to as a “Step”.

 This method of rotation makes Stepper Motors ideal for applications like 3D Printing, in which rotational motion is converted into linear motion via belts and pulleys. It allows you to move components like extruders or carriages along defined linear paths with impressive accuracy, with Stepper Motor Drivers doing all of the complicated calculations to make your life easier.

Whether you want to use stepper motors for moving extruders horizontally in 3D printing, moving cameras along specific linear routes during long exposure photography, or simply as a way to precisely spin objects to specific orientations, we offer a wide range of steppers in various sizes and strengths, to ensure that you can get the perfect motor for whatever project you’re busy working on.
