    A stepper motor is used in electronics, nothing to do with cars. It allows you to move the motor a precise amount of degrees in certain directions.

    They have become more widely used in the last 10 years, used to control throttle flaps, A/C control etc...

    They're also used for the analogue gauges in modern instrument panels.

    I think a thread on the design of stepper motors is better suited to the electronics forum. OP repost there if you like. Closed.
