Optimizing Stepper Motors with Microstepping

Microstepping increases the accuracy, torque, energy efficiency, and smoothness of stepper motor applications while at the same time reducing step loss, vibrations, and noise. Stepper motor drives can be controlled with a sinusoidal current waveform by dividing full steps into smaller microsteps to achieve the utmost precision and smooth movement. With up to 256 microsteps per full step, ADI Trinamic™ technology transforms digital information into perfect physical motion. The resulting current control scheme reduces noise and vibrations while increasing the accessible torque and precision.
