The efficiency of a bipolar stepper motor compared to a unipolar motor has to be determined by the individual. If you are using the motor in a high speed situation, the unipolar motor is more efficient in those situations. For lower speed situations, the bipolar stepper motor is more efficient. Unipolar motors will have less torque at lower speeds, while bipolar motors will have less torque at higher speeds.

Difference between a bipolar and unipolar stepper motor?

There are two different winding configurations for stepper motors. A unipolar stepper motor has one winding coil and a center tap which is activated for proper frequency. The bipolar stepper motor is more complex since the winding motion must be reversed to get the proper frequency.

What is the difference between - bipolar and uni polar stepper motor?

Unipolar Stepper MotorsThe unipolar stepper motor operates with one winding with a center tap per phase. Each section of the winding is switched on for each direction of the magnetic field. Each winding is made relatively simple with the commutation circuit, this is done since the arrangement has a magnetic pole which can be reversed without switching the direction of the current. In most cases, given a phase, the common center tap for each winding is the following; three leads per phase and six leads for a regular two phase stepper motor. You will usually see that both these phases are often joined internally, this makes the stepper motor only have five leads. Often a stepper motor controller will be used to activate the drive transistors in the proper order. Since it is quite easy to operate these stepper motors, they are often very popular among hobbyists and are usually the cheapest way to get precise angular movements.Bipolar Stepper MotorsWith bipolar stepper motors there is only a single winding per phase. The driving circuit needs to be more complicated to reverse the magnetic pole, this is done to reverse the current in the winding. This is done with a H-bridge arrangement, however there are several driver chips that can be purchased to make this a more simple task. Unlike the unipolar stepper motor, the bipolar stepper motor has two leads per phase, neither of which are common. Static friction effects do happen with a H-bridge with certain drive topologies, however this can be reduced with dithering the stepper motor signal at a higher frequency.

Neurons are categorized by?

Structure Unipolar Bipolar Multipolar AND FUNCTION sensory or afferent neurons Motor or efferent neurons


Classify neurons according to structure and function?

Neurons can be classified structurally as either multipolar, bipolar, or unipolar. Functionally, neurons can be classified as either sensory, motor, or interneurons based on their role in transmitting and processing sensory information, controlling motor movements, or connecting neurons within the central nervous system, respectively.
