The market demands cost-effective solutions. To meet this demand, B&R offers their stepper motors as an inexpensive and powerful addition to their existing product portfolio. • High torque • High overload capability • Cost-effective encoder option • Operation in parallel and in series Areas of use Over 500 million stepper motors are installed worldwide each year. Although most of these motors are used in very simple applications, the trend is also continuing to grow in applications that were handled strictly by DC and BLDC motors in the past. High-performance controllers increasingly make it possible for more complex tasks to be solved. Many applications that were once handled using smaller servo motors can now be handled by a stepper motor outfitted with the corresponding electronics. Not only have the possibilities involving controllers advanced over the last few years, but the motors themselves are running considerably smoother and with higher torque thanks to improved technology. New, robust position feedback possibilities are becoming much less expensive and are also playing their part in opening up new areas of use for stepper motors. Of course, stepper motor solutions also have their limitations. Particularly high speeds, easily achieved by servos, often mean the end of implementation possibilities for a stepper motor. If implementing a geared solution, however, many opportunities present themselves by using a smaller gear ratio or even no gears at all. The reason for this is the high torque that can be achieved with stepper motors in the low to intermediate speed range.
