Stepper Motors: Comprehensive Guide to Principles, Types, Applications, and Selection
Stepper motors often face the misconception of being inferior to servo motors. In reality, they offer comparable reliability while excelling in specific precision control scenarios. These motors operate by precisely synchronizing with pulse signals transmitted from the controller to the driver, enabling highly accurate positioning and speed regulation. A key advantage lies in their ability to deliver high torque at low speeds with minimal vibration, making them ideal for applications requiring rapid short-distance positioning—such as 3D printers, CNC machines, and automated assembly systems.
