Stepper Motor

A stepper motor is a type of electric motor designed to move in precise, small steps rather than smooth rotations. This allows it to control position and movement very accurately without needing sensors. When electrical pulses are sent to the motor, it turns a specific number of steps, making it ideal for applications like 3D printers, robotics, and CNC machines. Its ability to hold a position without power and repeat movements precisely makes it valuable in many automated systems. Essentially, it's a motor that moves in exact, controlled increments, offering high precision and reliability.
