Sort of.

More importantly, steppers and spindle drives are both examples of synchonous AC motors with a magnetised rotor and AC-excited stator windings.

Why use dc motor not stepper motor in robot?

DC motors use PWM (pulse width modulation), which can easily increase or decrease the power to the motor, thereby increasing or decreasing the motor speed by modulating the width of the pulse. Stepper motors have fixed frequencies, thereby having fixed motor speeds. As a result, the speed of the stepper motor cannot be controlled when the load is increased.


Is stepper motor ac or dc motor?

neither. DC locks the rotor of a stepper stationary, pulses applied to a stepper's windings in one order advances it while in the opposite order reverses it. steppers typically have 4 to 6 windings.


What are stepper motors used for?

A stepper motor (also referred to as step or stepping motor) is an electromechanical device achieving mechanical movements through conversion of electrical pulses. Stepper motors are driven by digital pulses rather than by a continuous applied voltage. Unlike conventional electric motors which rotate continuously, stepper motors rotate or step in fixed angular increments. A stepper motor is most commonly used for position control. With a stepper motor/driver/controller system design, it is assumed the stepper motor will follow digital instructions. One important aspect of stepper motors is the lack of feedback to maintain control of position, which classifies stepper motors as open-loop systems


Transfer function of stepper motor?

A stepper motor has a transfer function. The exact function is determined by a motor's individual characteristics. The speed at which it is capable of repeating a position is based on its geometric configuration and size.
