As a special type of motor, stepper motors have been widely used in industrial automation, precision positioning, robotics, and other fields due to their high control accuracy, fast response speed, and simple structure. This article will start from the principle of stepper motors, analyze their driving technology in detail, and explore their applications in various fields.
Principle of stepper motor
1. Structural characteristics
A stepper motor is mainly composed of a rotor, stator, and winding. The rotor is usually made of permanent magnet material, while the stator is composed of an iron core and windings. The working principle of a stepper motor is to change the direction of the current in the stator winding, so that the rotor steps at a certain angle.
2. working principle
When the winding of the stepper motor is energized, the rotor is subjected to electromagnetic force and rotates. When changing the direction of winding current, the rotor will step at a certain angle. The step angle of a stepper motor depends on the structure and working mode of the stator winding.
Stepper motor drive technology
The driving methods of stepper motors mainly include the following:
(1) Single phase drive: suitable for low-power stepper motors, with a simple structure but low control accuracy.
(2) Dual phase drive: suitable for medium and small power stepper motors, with high control accuracy and wide application.
(3) Three phase drive: suitable for high-power stepper motors, with high control accuracy but complex structure.
The driving circuits of stepper motors mainly include the following types:
(1) Transistor driven circuit: Using transistors as switching elements, it has the advantages of high driving current and fast response speed.
(2) Dedicated driver chip: Using a dedicated driver chip, it has the advantages of high control accuracy and good stability.
(3) Integrated driver module: Integrating the driver circuit into one module has the advantages of easy installation and small size.
