StepperOnline is the world's leading motion control manufacturer and provider. We specialize in stepper motor, servo motor, brushless dc motor and precision gearbox, and also provide a variety of motion control products.

A stepper motor is an electromechanical device converting electrical energy into mechanical power. At the same time, a stepper motor is a brushless, synchronous motor that can divide a full rotation into a huge number of steps.

This stepper motor is an actuator that converts electrical pulses into angular displacement. Compared to the other two types of stepper motors, hybrid stepper motors provide higher torque with smaller step angle and have a better dynamic property.

When the stepper motor needs to start quickly or run at high speed, the driving voltage required is relatively high, and the set value of the working current must be large enough, otherwise it is easy to cause the motor to lose its step.

When the stepper motor operates, the electromagnetic iron core will continuously attract and release, causing vibration and noise in the rotating part. The control accuracy of the stepper motor drive circuit can also affect the noise and vibration of the stepper motor.

A stepper motor is a brushless synchronous DC motor that converts digital pulses into rotation of a mechanical axis. Unlike many other standard types of motors, a stepper motor does not continuously spin for any number of revolutions until the DC voltage delivered to it is cut off.

This LG series ball screw driven dustproof linear actuator offers a maximum horizontal payload of 50kg(110.23lb) and maximum vertical payload of 15kg(33.07lb), a maximum stroke length of 1250mm(49.21") and maximum speed of 1m/s(3.28ft/s).

The answer is yes, the stepper motor must use a driver to work properly. So why does a stepper motor need a stepper motor driver ? The first reason is that the motor needs the driver to adjust the voltage and current:

Normally, we don’t ask stepper motor’s highest frequency, we think the question should be stepper motor’s maximum speed. Because it’s meaningless to discuss the highest frequency without regard to driver’s subdivision. Below table are our motor’s Max. speed and recommend working speed for each size of motors:
