What are the classifications of stepper motors?

2025-03-01



I. According to the excitation mode:


(1) Reactive Stepper Motor (VR)

Features: high torque output (high power consumption, current up to 20A, high driving voltage);

Small step Angle (minimum 10 ');

No positioning torque when power is off;

Motor damping is small, single step operation (refers to the pulse frequency is very low) oscillation time is long;

Higher startup and operation frequency;


(2) Permanent magnet stepper motor (PM)

Features: small output torque (power consumption is small, current is generally less than 2A, driving voltage 12V);

Large step Angle (e.g. 7.5°, 15°, 22.5°, etc.)

It has a certain holding torque when power is off;

Startup and operation frequency is low.


(3) Hybrid stepping motor (HB)

Features: the output torque is larger than permanent magnet type (power consumption is relatively small);

Step Angle is smaller than permanent magnet type (generally 1.8°);

No positioning torque when power is off;

Higher startup and operation frequency;


Two, according to the stator winding mode:

(1) Two-phase stepper motor: the most commonly used stepper motor type, accounting for more than 97% of the market share, high cost performance, with a subdivision driver after the effect is good;

(2) Three-phase stepper motor: can achieve large torque output, but the noise and vibration are relatively large;

(3) Five-phase stepper motor: with smaller step Angle and higher accuracy;


Three, according to the transmission design:

(1) Rotary stepper motor: the most common type of stepper motor, used to achieve rotary motion;

(2) linear stepper motor: used to realize linear motion, through a special transmission mechanism to convert the rotating motion into linear motion;
