⚙️  Servo & Stepper Motors

Every machine that moves with precision — robots, CNC machines, pick-and-place lines, packaging equipment — depends on motion control motors. The two workhorses are the servo motor and the stepper motor, and knowing when to use which is a core automation skill.

This hub explains how each motor type works, what the spec sheet numbers actually mean, and how motors pair with the drives and encoders that control them.
