Welcome to a new series covering questions we get asked from time to time, simply called Why?. In our first installment, we decided to answer the question, "Why does my step motor sing?" Well, more like why does it make noise (Singing would be a stretch...). We explain the basics of where the noise may come from, and what you can do to quiet it down.
Can my step motor get hot enough to cook an egg? In this segment of The Why? Series, Bob explains why a typical step motor may get hot. Learn why a step motor will heat up, and what can be done to reduce this heating. Unless of course, you are looking to cook an egg!
