Stepping Motors and their Microprocessor Controls by Takashi Kenjo (Professor, Department of Electrical Engineering and Power Electronics, Professor, Department of Electrical Engineering and Power Electronics, University of Industrial Technology, Kanagawa, Japan)
From reviews of the first edition:- ".... quality and qulaity of illustrations is noteworthy... a comprehensive and thought provoking summary of stepping motor technology. Times Higher Education Supplement. A general textbook on the use of stepping motors ... a comprehensive guide to the subject. Electronics and Power. Whenever repeated stop-start or incremental controlled motions are encountered, there are apllications for stepping motors. Their basic design and constructure make them enimently suitable for digital (microprocessor) control and they are consequently found in computer hardware- disk drives, printers, etc, in clocks, in numerically controlled machine books, and in domestic appliances. In this successful textbook, the authors take a practical approach to stepping motors, using many informative diagrams to explain their working principles, construction details, electronic controls, applications, and methods of maufacutre.
