Abstract
An apparatus is provided for utilizing a Switched Reluctance motor to position and hold a load in a desired position. In operation, one or more switch reluctance (SR) motors are capable of operating in a stepping control mode in a first device. Additionally, a second device is capable of providing precise position control for the first device, while the one or more SR motors are operating in the stepping control mode.
