Stepper motors are great motors for position control. They can be found in desktop printers, plotters, 3d printers, CNC milling machines, and anything else requiring precise position control. Steppers are a special segment of brushless motors. They are purposely built for high-holding torque. This high-holding torque gives the user the ability to incrementally “step” to the next position. This results in a simple positioning system that doesn’t require an encoder. This makes stepper motor controllers very simple to build and use.

This large NEMA 23 Stepper Motor offers a massive 166 oz.in of torque, making them suitable for higher loads than their smaller NEMA 17 counterparts. The motor has 200 steps per revolution and features 50 cm leads.
