    This document discusses stepper motors, including their types (permanent magnet, variable reluctance, and hybrid synchronous), advantages (proportional rotation to input pulses, full torque at standstill, excellent response to starting/stopping), and applications (industrial machines, security, medical, consumer electronics). It provides details on how each type of stepper motor works and concludes that a stepper motor rotates in discrete step angles when electrical pulses are applied, unlike a brushless DC motor.

    Stepper Motor – Types, Advantages
    And Applications

    Introduction:
     A stepper motor is an electromechanical device which converts electrical
    pulses into discrete mechanical movements. The shaft or spindle of a
    stepper motor rotates in discrete step increments when electrical
    command pulses are applied to it in the proper sequence. The motors
    rotation has several direct relationships tothese applied input pulses.

     The sequence of the applied pulses is directly related to the direction of


    motor shafts rotation. The speed of the motor shafts rotation is directly
    related to the frequency of the input pulses and the length of rotation is
    directly related to the number of input pulses applied

    About Stepper Motor

     The stepper motor uses the theory of operation for magnets to make the
    motor shaft turn a precise distance when a pulse of electricity is provided.
    The stator has eight poles, and the rotor has six poles. The rotor will
    require 24 pulses of electricity to move the 24 steps to make one complete
    revolution. Another way to say this is that the rotor will move precisely 15°
    for each pulse of electricity that the motor receives.
    Stepper Motor – Types, Advantages
    And Applications
    There are three main types of stepper motors, they are:

    Permanent magnet stepper Hybrid synchronous stepper

    Stepper Motor

    Variable reluctance stepper


    Stepper Motor – Types, Advantages
    And Applications

    Permanent Magnet Stepper Motor

     Permanent magnet motors use a permanent magnet (PM)


    in the rotor.

     It operate on the attraction or repulsion between the rotor


    PM and the stator electromagnets.
    Stepper Motor – Types, Advantages
    And Applications

    Variable Reluctance Stepper Motor

     Variable reluctance (VR) motors have a plain iron rotor and


    operate based on the principle that minimum reluctance
    occurs with minimum gap, hence the rotor points are
    attracted toward the statormagnet poles.
    Stepper Motor – Types, Advantages
    And Applications

    Hybrid Synchronous Stepper Motor

     Hybrid stepper motors are named because they use a


    combination of permanent magnet (PM) and variable
    reluctance (VR) techniques to achieve maximumpower
    in a small package size.

    And Applications

    Stepper Motor Stepper Motor Disadvantages


    Advantages

     Resonances can occur if not


     The rotation angle of the
    properlycontrolled.
    motor is proportional to the
    input pulse.
     Not easy to operate at
    extremely highspeeds.
     The motor has full torque at
    standstill.

     Excellent response to starting,


    stopping andreversing.
    Stepper Motor – Types, Advantages
    And Applications

    Applications

     Industrial Machines – Stepper motors are used in automotive gauges


    and machine tooling automated production equipment's.

     Security – new surveillance products for the securityindustry.

     Medical – Stepper motors are used inside medical scanners, samplers,


    and also found inside digital dental photography, fluid pumps,
    respirators and blood analysis machinery.

     Consumer Electronics – Stepper motors in cameras for automatic


    digital camera focus and zoom functions.

    Conclusion

     A Stepper Motor or a step motor is a brushless synchronous motor


    which divides a full rotation into a number ofsteps. Unlike a brushless
    DCmotor which rotates continuously when a fixed DCvoltage is
    applied to it, a step motor rotates in discrete step angles. The stepper
    motor can be controlled with or without feedback.
