Množina: stepper monitors

A mechanical device that rotates only a fixed distance each time it receives an electrical pulse. A stepper motor is part of a disk drive.

Množina: stepper motors

Electric motor that can be precisely controlled by signals from a computer. The motor turns through a precise angle each time it receives a signal pulse from the computer. By varying the rate at which signal pulses are produced, the motor can be run at different speeds or turned through an exact angle and then stopped. Switching circuits can be constructed to allow the computer to reverse the direction of the motor.
By combining two or more motors, complex movement control becomes possible. For example, if stepper motors are used to power the wheels of a small vehicle, a computer can maneuver the vehicle in any direction.
Stepper motors are commonly used in small-scale applications where computer-controlled movement is required. In larger applications, where greater power is necessary, pneumatic or hydraulic systems are usually preferred.

Singular of steppes is steppe.
