stepper motors
Discrete-step electric motors
Stepper motors are electric motors that divide rotation into discrete steps, allowing precise control of position and speed without feedback sensors.
Each electrical pulse advances the motor by a fixed angle.
They're common in 3D printers, CNC machines, and robotics—anywhere exact positioning matters: The stepper motors on the print head weren't calibrated properly.
