About Stepper Motors
Stepper motors use a magnetic field to move a rotor. Stepping can be done in full step, half step or other fractional step increments. Voltage is applied to poles around the rotor. The voltage changes the polarity of each pole, and the resulting magnetic interaction between the poles and the rotor causes the rotor to move. Stepper motors provide precise positioning and ease of use, especially in low acceleration or static load applications.
Important performance specifications to consider when searching for stepper motors include shaft speed, terminal voltage, current per phase, continuous output power, and static or holding torque. Shaft speed is the no-load rotational speed of output shaft at rated terminal voltage. The terminal voltage is the design DC motor voltage. The current per phase is the maximum rated current or winding for a stepper motor. The continuous output power is the mechanical power provided by the motor output. Static or holding torque is the maximum torque a motor can develop to hold its rotor in a stationary position.
