A Stepping Motor (also known as a step motor or a stepping-motor) is a type of electric motor that rotates in discrete step increments. Stepper motors are used in a wide range of applications, from controlling the speed and direction of a machine to controlling the motion of a robot arm. It works by receiving electric pulses that tell it how many steps to move, allowing for precise control of its motion. Stepper motors are used in a variety of applications, including 3D printing, robotics, medical devices, and industrial automation.
