Design Example: Stepper-Driven Turntable¶
This example demonstrates combining an off-the-shelf lazy-susan bearing with a stepper motor. The bearing provides robust support for a load attached to the output gear. The gears provide a reduction stage to increase the precision and torque output of the stepper motor. The result is a low-precision but low-cost laser-cuttable rotation stage.
