What is the difference between a step motor and an ordinary motor
Stepper motor and the general difference is mainly lies in the form of the pulse drive (send a pulse control system, can give in a rotary Angle of motor), because of the characteristics of step motor can be combined with modern digital control technology (particularly suitable for mechanical and electrical integration products). However, it is inferior to the traditional closed-loop dc servo motor in the accuracy, speed range and low speed performance of the step motor. It is possible to use stepping motor in an environment where precision is not particularly high, and the step motor can be characterized by simple structure, high reliability and low cost. When used properly, it can even be compared to the performance of dc servo motors.
A dc motor usually requires only two lines, and the step motor requires 4-5 jumper lines The speed of dc motor is higher, and the speed of stepping motor is slower The Angle of rotation of the dc motor is difficult to calculate accu
The step motor is in the position control general motors are usually the speed control and the control of the two is different. Position control means that you can set the number of times you want your motor to rotate (a circle of 360 degrees), and speed control means how much your motor is going to turn/minute. This can be seen in the low speed of the step motor, which is the high speed of the motor.
