FAQ
What are the advantages and disadvantages of stepping motors?
The main advantage is high-precision positioning via a simple open-loop control setup, while the disadvantage is the risk of a stall during high-speed rotation.
Because position sensors are unnecessary, they offer a low-cost, simple configuration. They excel in holding torque at a standstill and deliver high torque at low speeds. However, torque drops sharply at high speeds, requiring caution against stalls caused by overloads, heat generation, and vibration.
What is a stall, and why does it occur?
A stall occurs when the motor's rotation fails to keep up with operation commands (pulse signals), resulting in a loss of synchronization.
Main causes include sudden acceleration or deceleration, overloads exceeding the motor's capacity, and external physical impacts. Click here for details.
What is the lifespan of a stepping motor?
They offer a long lifespan due to the absence of consumable parts like brushes. The main life-limiting factor is bearing degradation.
The standard expected lifespan depends on the bearing grease's service life, generally estimated at 20,000 to 30,000 hours. However, excessive shaft loads or high-temperature environments will reduce this lifespan.
