Solidwork Adib

Stepper motors move and rotate in discrete steps making them well-suited for applications requiring precise positioning and speed control. They achieve precise movement by energizing coils in sequence which causes the motor to take individual steps. In contrast, ordinary DC motors rely on a commutator and brushes to induce continuous rotation. Stepper motors provide benefits like positioning accuracy needed for 3D printers and cameras, as well as speed control for automation. They also generate high torque at low speeds, making them suitable for applications requiring precision at low rotational speeds.

Product significance

Stepper motors are DC motors that move in discrete steps. They have multiple
coils that are organized in groups called "phases". By energizing each phase in sequence,
the motor will rotate, one step at a time. By using a computer controlled stepping you
can achieve very precise positioning and speed control. For this reason, stepper motors
are the motor of choice for many precision motion control applications.

Stepper motor is better than ordinary electric motor because an ordinary electric
motor is based on a simple bit of magnet science. How an ordinary motor works is simple
you take a ring-shaped magnet, put a coil of wire inside it, and feed electricity through the
wire. The wire becomes a temporary magnet powered by electricity, in other words the
magnetic field it creates repels the field from the permanent magnet that surrounds it. By
switching the current on and off with a clever little device called a commutator, and some
electrical contacts called brushes, you can make the wire rotate in the same direction
indefinitely. Feed electricity into it and you get motion back out. That's the essence of an
ordinary motor that uses DC electricity.

There is a few benefit of stepper motors and one of the example is positioning.
Since steppers move in precise repeatable steps, they excel in applications requiring
precise positioning such as 3D printers, CNC, Camera platforms and X, Y Plotters. Some
disk drives also use stepper motors to position the read/write head. Next is the speed
control that’s mean precise increments of movement also allow for excellent control of
rotational speed for process automation and robotics. Lastly, low speed torque that’s
mean normal DC motors don't have very much torque at low speeds. A stepper motor has
maximum torque at low speeds, so they are a good choice for applications requiring low
speed with high precision.
