A driving device for a stepping motor includes a motor driving circuit configured to generate a current waveform representing an electrical angle in synchronization with a mechanical angle of the stepping motor, and excite the stepping motor using the current waveform; a memory configured to store a value of the electrical angle; and a controller configured to: when a power supply to the stepping motor and the motor driving circuit is stopped, store a first value of the electrical angle held by the motor driving circuit in the memory; and when the power supply is resumed, replace a value of the electrical angle of the motor driving circuit with the first value while suppressing a rotational operation of the stepping motor.

A motor operated valve apparatus includes: a motor driven valve; a drive unit configured to drive the motor; a control unit configured to control the drive unit; and a communication unit configured to communicate with an external controller. The control unit starts control of the motor operated valve according to a command from the external controller; drives the motor in a valve closing direction at start of the control, detects a load on the motor based on a drive pulse output by the drive unit for driving the motor, and sets a driven state when the detected load reaches a predetermined reference value to be a valve switching point of a valve section; and drives the motor relative to the valve switching point of the valve section to perform control so that an opening degree of the valve section becomes a value corresponding to a control command value.

A rotary module for a measuring device of an accelerator facility includes a first radial bearing including a first bearing side configured to be paired with an accelerator-side flange connection and further including a second bearing side configured to receive the measuring device on the first radial bearing in a bearing manner such that the measuring device is connected to the accelerator facility by the first radial bearing; and a drive configured to control a rotational movement of the measuring device about an axis of rotation.

Methods and systems include an actuator adapted to provide drive power and hold power to an external device. A motor provides for driving the external device to a determined position when the motor is energized. A switching circuit is configured to energize the motor with a high voltage to drive the external device to the determined position and energize the motor with a low voltage to hold the external device in the determined position.

A stepping motor control device is provided with a stopping position determination section and a drive control section. The stopping position determination section determines whether a mover stopping position during the holding state is a stabilized phase or a semistable phase. When it is determined that the mover stopping position is a semistable phase during the holding state by the stopping position determination section, and the control state of the stepping motor transitions from the holding state to the standby state in which the holding of the mover is released due to a trigger signal from a device or the holding state persisting for a fixed time, the drive control section changes the mover stopping position to one of the stabilized phases adjacent to the mover stopping position during the holding state.
