The Shaft Style refers to the physical shape of the motor shaft. This is important if you plan on hooking up the motor shaft to other systems, such as gears or pulleys. | The Shaft Style refers to the physical shape of the motor shaft.

+ | ===NEMA size=== | ||
+ | The NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association) size standard is used to measure the size of the motor. It can be approximated to be about the diameter of a motor in inches, multiplied by 10. Thus a NEMA 17 motor is about 1.7 inches in diameter. More info can be found at ((http:// | ||

- | Stepper motors can be used in a wide variety of applications. They are frequently used in devices like printers, where low-speed rotational speed is valued. Their high torque at low rotational speeds also makes them great for haptics, such as their use in TorqueTuner (Kirkegaard et al., 2020) a tool kit for implementing haptics into other musical | + | Stepper motors can be used in a wide variety of applications.
