An electric motor that divides a whole rotation into a number of equal steps is referred to as a stepper motor, also known as a step motor or stepping motor.
It is a brushless DC electric motor. As long as the motor is properly scaled for the application in terms of torque and speed, it can be instructed to move and hold at one of these steps without using a position sensor to provide feedback (an open-loop controller).
Stepper motors actually consist of a central rotor, which is an iron component in the shape of a gear, and a number of “toothed” electromagnets organised as a stator around it.
A microcontroller or a driving circuit from outside powers the electromagnets. One electromagnet is powered in order to magnetically pull the gear teeth toward one another and turn the motor shaft.
The Global Stepper System Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
A new lineup of FAULHABER stepper motors formally launched by Electro Mechanical Systems Ltd. (EMS).
The new FAULHABER DM stepper motor line provides extremely low internal rotor inertia, high levels of control, and is well suited for applications that demand extremely precise and controllable movement, such as laboratory equipment and computer numerical control (CNC) machining.
In order to operate the motors in high vacuum settings, they can also be modified to work with optical encoder feedback systems.
The FAULHABER variety of gearheads, including planetary and spur gearheads, can also be used with the two-phase stepper motor variations to increase torque per volume.
The Engineering Design Show will present a new choice for precision applications, such as camera lenses, tooling, and the prosthetic sectors, with the introduction of the new line of FAULHABER stepper motors to the UK market.
Due to their ability to move in discrete increments, stepper motors are essential for a wide range of precision applications.
A closed loop system is not necessary because each step is the same length, allowing for accurate known movements.
Because both require extremely precise movement to attain the high levels of quality necessary, stepper motors are used in the majority of high-quality CCTV systems and 3D printers.
Stepper motors are used by CCTV systems to manage pan and tilt motions; in these cases, smooth actuation is essential to obtaining quality film.
