Magnetic pulses lock motors into rigid steps

HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART

Some specific motors are incredibly terrible at spinning freely, entirely on purpose. Unlike standard motors that spin wildly when fed voltage, stepper motors use a highly toothed electromagnet setup to cleanly divide a full rotation into hundreds of tiny, distinct steps. They lock onto precise angles, making exact robotic precision possible.
