The document discusses stepper motors. A stepper motor converts electrical pulses into discrete mechanical movements, with the motor's rotation and speed directly corresponding to the input pulses. There are three main types of stepper motors: permanent magnet, variable reluctance, and hybrid. A stepper motor provides precise positioning and repeatability due its digital input, full torque at standstill, and accuracy of motor rotation to pulses. However, stepper motors can experience resonances at high speeds if not properly controlled. Common applications of stepper motors include consumer electronics, automation equipment, and industrial machinery.

stepper motor is an electromechanical device which converts electrical pulses into discrete mechanical movements. The motors rotation has several direct relationships to these applied input pulses. The sequence of the applied pulses is directly related to the direction of motor shafts rotation. The speed of the motor shafts rotation is directly related to the frequency of the input pulses.

Components of a PM stepper motor: (a) Rotor; (b) stator

PM stepper motor; (b) 90 step; (c) 45 step.

(i). Input to stepper motor is in the form of electric pulses whereas input to a conventional motor is invariably from a constant voltage source. (ii). A conventional motor has a free running shaft whereas shaft of stepper motor moves through angular steps. (iii). In control system applications, no feedback loop is required when stepper motor is used but a feedback loop is required when conventional motor is used. (iv). A stepper motor is digital electromechanical device whereas a conventional motor is n analog electromechanical device.

(i). The rotation angle of the motor is proportional to the input pulse. (ii). The motor has full torque at standstill (if the windings are energized) (iii). Precise positioning and repeatability of movement since good stepper motors have an accuracy of 5% of a step and this error is non cumulative from one step to the next. (iv). Excellent response to starting/ stopping/reversing. (v). Very reliable since there are no contact brushes in the motor. Therefore the life of the motor is simply dependant on the life of the bearing. (vi). The motors response to digital input pulses provides open-loop control, making the motor simpler and less costly to control.

(i). Resonances can occur if not properly controlled. (ii). Not easy to operate at extremely high speeds Open Loop Operation

(i). Consumer Electronics (ii). Automotive and Aircraft (iii). Office Equipment (iv). Medical (v). Industrial machines (vi). Scientific Instrumentation (vii). Chemical (viii). Security (ix). Gaming industry
