What are the advantages of stepping motors?

Answer:

(1) the step distance is not affected by various interference factors. Such as voltage magnitude, current value, waveform, temperature changes, etc..(2) the error is not accumulated for a long time. Stepper motor with each step turn angle and a certain error theory step distance, from one step to any step, there is always a certain cumulative error, but the cumulative error each turn is zero, so the pace of accumulation error is not accumulated down.
Advantages of stepper motor: low output torque, open loop control, cost-effective, only servo 1/4 or so. Disadvantages: large vibration, large heating, high speed performance, and the possibility of losing step. Special drive is required.
(3) control performance is good. Starting, stopping and turning are completed in a small number of pulses. When running in a certain frequency range, no movement will be lost. Therefore, stepper motor is widely used in CNC machine tools.
