Stepper Motor

Stepper motors, highly precise, digitally controlled motors, which are able to provide reliable operation without using detectors to sense or indicate position. The operation of the motor is controlled through electrical pulses. The direction of current flowing through the windings of the motor is switched with each pulse. The electrical pulse is converted into shaft rotation in steps of a fixed angle. Together with the driver, it constitutes an open loop controlling system, which is of low cost and simple to construct.

Stepper motors are widely being used in many types of digitally controlled motion control applications, such as printers, intelligent (performance) stage lighting, office, bank and industrial equipment, medical, packaging, textile, aerospace, robotics and automotive

► Features

• Precise Position Control
  The specified number of pulses determines the output degree(s) generated.

• Linear Speed Selection
  The running speed is linearly variable and determined by the frequency of the pulses.

• Low Speed Feature
  Low frequency pulses being input, a stepper motor can operate at very low rotating speeds. This can be done without a speed reduction gearbox and thereby save power and maintain precision.

• Forward & Reverse, Pause and Holding Function
  The forward & reverse rotation is controlled by the polarity. There is still holding torque even while the motor rotor is being locked. There is still current flowing through the motor winding, but no pulse signal creating rotation from the outside controller.

• Long Life
  The brushless design provides stepper motors with a very long life.
