What is a Stepper Motor and How it Works?

==========================

==========================

Have you ever thought about how a robotic arm moves with precision or how graphic printers create accurate replications of images, or how consumable products are moved precisely around a plant floor or any other type of motion control positioning system?

With this lesson and others to follow you will learn about motion control using different types of motors available, primarily stepper and servo motors.

Selecting between a servo motor and a stepper motor can be quite a challenge with the balancing of several design factors in cost considerations, torque, speed, acceleration, and drive circuitry all play an important role in selecting the best motor for your application.

In this lesson we will discuss what a stepper motor is and how it works, so let’s first determine what a stepper motor is and examine some unique features of a stepper motor.

Is anyone else watching this after seeing the stepper motor music videos? Because if you haven't seen that yet you need to check it out

[jacobcamenzind]

This is absurdly well-explained and concise.

[otabektillavayev]

Thanks of millions for very good lesson

[cck]

One of the best explanation on YouTube. Good work.

[mohamedatef]

This is the best video explaining the stepper motor so far.
Thanks a million.

[shaikmasrath]

Thank you so much I have my semester afternoon, as I have a chapter on this I got a clear view
Lots of love from india❤
If you ever come India let me know sir🫶

[mido]

The best video I watched about stepper motors.

[leonardotavares]

Perfect explanation of how does it works, congrats.

[ayeshkodikara]

perfect presentation. love from Sri Lanka. thank you

[ardentdfender]

Wow, great video. Have never heard of these motors before that I can remember, though it certainly don’t mean I didn’t unknowingly ever saw one and just didn’t know. I’m sure I have. Damn great detail animation in explanation for really precise movements.

[jakubhavlicek]

Another great one. Thanks for creating these videos. Can't wait for servo motor video.

[ekoaris]

Thanks for the good video explanation. I can use it in my class 👍

[SimplyEmbedded]

I liked the illustration in the video on the topic. Great job! Excited to see more videos!

[Erreul]

0:05 Right of the bat, whole reason I clicked, I have a feeling I'm going to get a very good answer.

[doaaahmed]

Amazing explanation, thank u so much❤❤❤❤❤

[sushilgharat]

Thank you so much...
Pls increase video upload frequency...
We are waiting for ur much needed and helpful engineering videos..

[schnibie]

Thank you, but how does it control the direction? So how does it know if it should go ccw or cw?

[renegadeflower]

Anyone who dislikes this video must have had a few drinks.

Great video! What do you call a stepper motor that has 3 coils? I am trying to find a driver for it with no success. Thanks in advance

Hello Sir.... Is there any difference between the rotation step angle and the pulses given from controller? From controller we are giving 5000 or 10000 and so on pulses for single rotation, and can stop the stepper in any pulses, but how it relates with the steps if we are using PLC?
