A stepper motor is an electric motor that rotates its shaft in precise, fixed-degree increments. Due to its internal design, you can track the shaft's exact position simply by counting these steps, without needing any sensors. This precision control makes stepper motors ideal for many applications.
The operation of a stepper motor system revolves around the interaction between the rotor and stator. Here’s a detailed look at how a typical stepper motor works:
Signal Generation: A controller generates a sequence of electrical pulses that represent the desired movement.
Driver Activation: The driver receives the signals from the controller and energizes the motor windings in a specific sequence, creating a rotating magnetic field.
Rotor Movement: The magnetic field generated by the stator interacts with the rotor, causing it to rotate in discrete steps. The number of steps corresponds to the pulse frequency sent by the controller.
Feedback (Optional): In some systems, a feedback mechanism, such as an encoder, may be used to ensure that the motor has moved the correct distance. However, many stepper motor systems operate without feedback, relying on the precise control of the driver and controller.
