A Stepper Motors (SM) is a DC motor with computer-controlled stepping to get exact positioning and speed control. These motors feature precise, repeatable steps and are ideal for precise positioning applications. In addition, these motors feature higher maximum torque than standard DC motors at low speeds.
Typical Applications of SM:
These motors are ideal for various applications, including:
- Precision positioning equipment
- Camera Platforms
- Robotics
- 3D Printers
- Computer numerical control (CNC)
- Process Automation
How do they work?
Like all-electric motors, stepper motors are equipped with a stationary part, the stator, and a moving part, the rotor. The stator comprises teeth with wired coils, while the rotor features a permanent magnet or iron core of variable reluctance. The SM works on the basic principle of energising one or more of its stator phases, generating a magnetic field rendered by an electric flow. The rotors align with the magnetic field and can be rotated by a specific amount for the desired position.
Why use SM?
The SM is an incredibly reliable, durable, cost-effective, versatile, and easy way to precisely control motor movement. Using this motor allows users to enhance the efficiency and agility of its movements in various industrial and other applications.
