Stepper motors are popular for their ability to position easily and accurately. The travel amount and the speed can be easily controlled by a digital pulse signal. Unlike servo motors, stepper motors do not require encoders or complicated PID loops to operate.
Easy to Use: 34%
Inexpensive: 17%
Simple Operation: 16%
No Tuning: 12%

Maximize performance & value with high torque stepper motors
High torque stepper motors can provide equivalent torque to the next larger frame size and provide flexibility to improve performance or design of machines.
By gaining a better understanding of the relationship between current, torque, heat, life, duty cycle, and power consumption, you can maximize the performance of stepper motors further.
Learn the benefits of high torque stepper motor design in this white paper.
