The stepper motor is used for precise positioning with a motor, such as hard disk drives, robotics, antennas, telescopes, and some toys. Stepper motors cannot run at high speeds, but have a high holding torque.
When would you use a stepper motor?
Applications of Stepper Motors
- 3D printing equipment.
- Textile machines.
- Printing presses.
- Gaming machines.
- Medical imaging machinery.
- Small robotics.
- CNC milling machines.
- Welding equipment.
What is the major benefit of a stepper motor?
One of the biggest advantages of stepper motors is their relatively low cost and availability. Stepper motors offer flexibility in application for a wide range of applications because the design of the stepper motor provides a constant holding torque without the need for the motor to be powered.
