1. Products Overview

Step motor is an executive agency that converts electrical pulses into corner displacement. You can control the angle displacement by controlling the number of pulses to achieve the purpose of accurate positioning. At the same time, you can control the speed and acceleration of the motor rotation by controlling the pulse frequency to achieve the purpose of the speed regulation.

The hybrid step motor is currently the most widely used step motor, and everyone is familiar with the stepper motor. Here, we briefly introduce how to choose the right step motor for our applications.

How to choose the right step motor for our applications?

The choice of stepping motor torque

The torque of the stepping motor is similar to the "power" of traditional motors. Of course, there is an essential difference. The physical structure of the stepping motor is completely different from AC and DC motors and the output power can be variable.

Generally, we select the motor size according to the torque need in operation. For example, if the torque needed is less than 0.8N.M, frame size 20/28/35/39/42mm stepper motors are suitable. If the required torque is about 1N.M, select 57mm motor. When the required torque is several N.M or even more, usually selected stepping motors with frame size 86/110/130mm or bigger.

The stepping motor speed selection

Special consideration should be taken for the speed of the target stepper motor. Because the output torque of the motor is inversely proportional to the speed. That is to say, when the stepper motor speed is low (500-600 rpm or lower speed per minute), its output torque is larger. When the motor speed is increasing, the motor toque will be decreasing and especially when with the speed of 1000rpm and above.

Sometimes when high-speed motors are needed, the coil resistance, inductance and other indicators of the stepped motor must be considered carefully. Choose a motor with a slightly less inductance is better, as the output torque is normally higher. However, if want low speed and big torque, a stepper motor with inductance no less than 10mH is better.

Selection of no-load-starting frequency

This is a more important indicator for buying motors. If it is required to start and stop frequently within a short time, and the speed is about 1000 rpm (or higher), it is usually necessary to "accelerated startup", i.e need a motor with high no-load-starting frequency.

Phase selection

Regarding to the choice of the number of step motor phases, many customers do not pay enough attention. In fact, the performance of stepper motors with different phases are different. The more phases, the smaller the steps can be done, and the vibration at work is smaller. In most occasions, two-phase motors are enough. However, if higher performances needed, especially for precision or smoothness, 3-phase or 5-phase can be better.

Select the protection level

There are special step motors, such as water-proof and oil-proof, dust-proof for some special occasions. For example, underwater robots, or fountain etc. need waterproof motors.

Although the stepper motor and its control technology are currently very mature, if not used properly, there may still be a situation of step loss, i.e. position error. Next, we will analyze the common causes and solutions of position errors.

The reasons for the position error of stepper motors

Large load inertia

When the inertia of the load driven by the stepper motor is large, its inertia will generate inertia force, causing the current waveform output by the stepper motor controller to be inconsistent with the actual required current waveform, resulting in inaccurate position of the stepper motor.

The stepper motor driver is not set correctly

Incorrect settings of the stepper motor driver, such as fine fraction, step angle, and other parameter settings, can also lead to an increase in the position error of the stepper motor.

The pulse signal output by the stepper motor controller is unstable

When the pulse signal output by the stepper motor controller is unstable, it can lead to inaccurate position of the stepper motor. This situation is more common when using long-distance transmission of control signals.

The stepper motor is damaged

The rotor or stator of the stepper motor may be damaged, or the bearings may be damaged, which can lead to positional errors in the stepper motor.

Methods to solve the position error of stepper motors

Control load inertia

The position error of the stepper motor can be reduced by reducing the load inertia. For example, when driving a stepper motor with inertia loads, methods such as installing shock absorbers and changing the load inertia mode can be used to reduce the load inertia.

Set the driver parameters correctly

Correctly set the subdivision and step angle parameters of the stepper motor driver to ensure the position accuracy.

Stable output pulse signal

High precision pulse generators or adjustable filters can be used to stabilize the output pulse signal and reduce the position error of stepper motors.

Replace damaged stepper motor components

When the stepper motor is damaged, it is necessary to replace the corresponding components in order to restore the normal operation of the stepper motor.
