1) Precise Position Control
Precise positioning and repeatability of movement since good
stepper motors have an accuracy ±5% of a step and
this error is non-cumulative from one step to the next.
2) Precise Speed Control
The rotation angle of the motor is proportional to the input
pulse. And it’s excellent response to starting, stopping, reversing and holding
function. The motor has full torque at standstill (if the windings are
energized). So that stepper motors are usually used in motion control in a wide
scale.
3) Excellent response to starting, stopping, reversing and holding function.
4) Low cost for control achieved
The motors response to digital input pulses provides open-loop control, making the motor simpler and
less costly to control.
5) Ruggedness and long lifetime
Advantages of step motors are low cost, high reliability,
high torque at low speeds and a simple, rugged construction that operates in
almost any environment.
