Advantages and Disadvantages of Permanent Magnet Stepper Motor

A stepper motor is an electro-mechanical device that actuates a train of step movements of a shaft in response to a train of input pulses. The step movement may be angular or linear. The step movement of the motor is according to the input pulse.


The performance of a stepper motor — both in terms of resolution (or step size), speed, and torque — is influenced by construction details, which at the same time may also affect how the motor can be controlled. As a matter of fact, not all stepper motors have the same internal structure (or construction), as there are different rotor and stator configurations.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Stepper Motor

The advantages of a permanent magnet stepper motor are


It is compact and small in size, which makes it useful in many applications

Due to the absence of any external excitation, the losses are less

Due to the absence of any external excitation, the maintenance is less.

It can be connected to the external circuit, to control the speed of the motor

Sensors may be used to locate the rotor windings

Can be operated in a wide range of speed and torque.

Precise Control;


The disadvantages of a permanent magnet stepper motor are


Due to limitations in permanent magnet, it cannot be used for high power applications

Torque produced is limited

The life of a permanent magnet is limited.


The reason why nema 17 hybrid stepper motors rotate 1.8° per step is that the motor only moves a quarter of a tooth pitch per step due to the geometric design between the rotor and stator.  When phase A is excited as the south pole and its stator teeth are directly aligned with the north pole teeth from the rotor, the stator teeth of phase B are actually offset from the teeth of the rotor by 1.8°.  This is called the teeth arrange offset and is the reason why a two-phase hybrid type stepper motor rotates 1.8 ° per step.


Hence we have seen the working principle, constructional aspects, and applications of the permanent magnet stepper motor. It must be noted which magnetic materials are used to improve the performance of these motors and how to control the step angle of the machine? if you need Custom stepper motors, you can contact us.

How to Choose the Right Pancake Stepper Motors for Your Needs

A step motor is a type of electric motor that uses a series of electrical pulses to move the rotor. The rotating rotor causes a linear actuator, which produces motion in one direction. The pancake stepper motor is a type of step motor that has the capability to rotate continuously in both directions without any need for periodic rotary encoder. It is also known as the "pancake" stepper because it resembles a pancake, with its flat shape and circular cross-section. This article discusses how this type of step motors work and their applications in industrial machinery such as 3D printers, CNC machines, and robotics. What Makes the Pancake Stepping Motor Different From Others? The pancake stepping motor is a type of electric generator that uses an electromagnet to produce electricity. It is also known as the pancake motor because it looks like a pancake when it is folded in half. It has been around since the 1970s, but it saw a surge in popularity after the Fuk

What’s the difference between servo and closed loop stepper motors?

Servo and  closed loop stepper motor  have similar construction and share the same fundamental operating principle. Both motor types incorporate a rotor with permanent magnets and a stator with coiled windings … and both are operated by energizing or applying a dc voltage to the stator windings. That then causes the rotor to move. However, this is where the similarities between servo and stepper motors end. Drive methods for stepper motors Stepper motors have 50 to 100 poles and are two-phase devices. In contrast, servo motors have between four and 12 poles and are three-phase devices. What is more,  stepper motor driver  generate sine waves with a frequency that changes with speed … but with an amplitude that is constant. Servo drives, on the other hand, produce sine waves with variable frequency and amplitude — allowing them to control both speed and torque. Control methods for stepper motors Traditional stepper motors move when they receive a command to advance a cer

What drivers Can i use on NEMA 17 motor or NEMA 24?

Description Nema 17 motor  is not standard for electrical characteristics of the stepper motor. It is just faceplate and mounting holes standard to make it easier to interchange motors. Most likely you have to check from the specification that what is rated current for that motor and is it unipolar or bipolar one. Choose driver based on that. Note: Drive can always be more powerful than the motor, but you have to limit your current from the drive side. It’s also possible to use chopper drives with the less current rating, but then your motor runs underpowered. But one can definitely make assumptions on the motor size that NEMA 17 could use 1A – 2A current and  NEMA 23 motor  could use around 2A – 5A current. How to run a stepper motor without a microcontroller? It’s totally possible since the drive doesn’t care where it gets it’s stepping impulses. You only need some kind of source for pulses and direction. The simplest option would be to use a NE555 timer chip.
