It’s little secret that stepper motors are everywhere in FDM 3D printers, but there’s no real reason why you cannot take another type of DC motor like a brushless DC (BLDC) motor and use that instead.

Abstract: High power-to-weight ratio and reliability are key priorities in the advanced design of permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs). This article develops and characterizes an efficient ...

Abstract: Quasi-direct-drive (QDD) actuation is transforming legged and manipulator robots by eliminating high-ratio gear-boxes, yet it demands motors that deliver very high torque at low speed within ...
