This page explains how Stepper Motor is classified within Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing. Technical values and manufacturer relationships are research references; confirm the current specification and supplier evidence for each order.
A brushless DC electric motor that divides a full rotation into a number of equal steps for precise positioning control.
Technical details and manufacturing context for Stepper Motor
| Parameter | Typical range | Notes & selection driver |
|---|---|---|
| Step Angle | 1.8° ±5% ° | Common full-step angle; 0.9° available for higher resolution |
| Holding Torque | 0.1–12 N·m | Select based on load torque with safety factor |
| Rated Current per Phase | 0.5–6.0 A | Set driver current to rated value to prevent overheating |
| Phase Resistance | 0.5–10 Ω | Affects torque-speed characteristics and driver voltage |
| Phase Inductance | 1–50 mH | Higher inductance reduces high-speed torque |
| Insulation Class | B (130°C) | Higher class (F, H) for higher ambient temperaturesIEC 60085 |

A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
The step angle is the angular rotation per pulse. Common values are 1.8° (200 steps per revolution) and 0.9° (400 steps per revolution). The exact value is specified by the manufacturer and should be confirmed for the specific model.
Holding torque must be greater than the load torque plus a safety factor. Consider the application's load, friction, and acceleration requirements. The torque range for this product category is 0.1–12 N·m, but the actual required value depends on your system.
IP rating indicates the degree of protection against dust and water ingress. For example, IP65 offers dust-tight and water-jet protection. Choose an IP rating based on the operating environment. The range for this product is IP40–IP65, but verify the specific model's rating.
Yes, stepper motors are designed for open-loop control. The controller sends pulses, and the motor moves a precise step angle per pulse. However, if the load exceeds the motor's torque, steps may be missed, so proper sizing is essential.
