What is the main difference between the step motor and the ordinary motor?
The step motor is used for precise control, or location determination; Ordinary motor is used for speed adjustment; Of course, this is all 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.
Stepper motor is relatively better control of the motor rotating an Angle, and often only ordinary motor speed control, but it doesn't like stepping motor can be according to your requirements and a relative distance.
Step motor is pulse control, one pulse is a step; General electric motor is called induction motor, which is controlled by analog quantity, and the electricity is transferred.
