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
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.
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.
Don't know of any three phase low voltage motors. Perhaps it's a "stepper motor". Stepper motors are typically computer controlled, with the computer pulsing different pairs of wire to cause the motor to "step".
Applications of Stepper Motor: Computer-controlled stepper motors are one of the most versatile forms of positioning systems. They are typically digitally controlled as part of an open loop system, and are simpler and more rugged than closed loop servo systems. Industrial applications are in high speed pick and place equipment and multi-axis machine CNC machines often directly driving lead screws or ballscrews. In the field of lasers and optics they are frequently used in precision positioning equipment such as linear actuators, linear stages, rotation stages, goniometers, and mirror mounts. Other uses are in packaging machinery, and positioning of valve pilot stages for fluid control systems. Commercially, stepper motors are used in floppy disk drives, flatbed scanners, computer printers, plotters, slot machines, and many more devices. Some people looking for generators for homemade Wind Turbines found success in using stepper motors for generating power.

Stepper motors are much more precise, but more mechanically complex than other motors.
If the speedo in an 04 Monte Carlo doesnot work it is the stepper motor in the cluster. Go to eBay 04 Monte Carlo cluster stepper motors scroll down and by a set of motors .INSTRUTIONS COME WITH THEM TO REPLACE THEM vERY SIMPLE TO DO SO.

Well it depends on the actual problem, My 04 sunfire had a problem with its stepper motors (they drive the needles) GM had issues with Stepper motors manufactured by Delphi... P/n XC5.168 replace them by X25.168 Available on e-bay for 5$ a pop.
YOu can go to the following website to buy a bipolar stepper motor online and for great prices http://www.anaheimautomation.com/products/stepper/stepper-motors-list.php?cID=19
in the applications that need low motion..with high torqe.. like..printer & floppy disk motors (stepper)
No, stepper and servo motor are by mechanical design two different types of motors.
A stepper motor is a type of electric motor that is brushless. The "question" isn't actually a question, so I'm not sure what else you would like to know about stepper motors.
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.
