Best Answer

A servo motor uses position and/or velocity feedback to control its position and/or velocity. A stepper motor, on the other hand, uses magnetic detents to allow positioning to known positions based on pulses received from the driver.

Is a stepper motor with feedback loop a servo motor?

No, stepper and servo motor are by mechanical design two different types of motors.


Does syringe pump uses servo motor or stepper motor?

It depends. Servo Motor provides a smoother flow rate than a stepper motor, but most companies manufacture syringe pumps with a stepper motor due to number of stopping point and exactness of stopping. This provides aspiration and dispense accuracy and precision. Syringe Pump with Servo Motor (such as PSD/3) however provides smooth flow rate and flow rate accuracy.

Is a stepper motor easier to maintain than a normal ac motor?

A stepper motor is more easier to maintain than a normal ac motor. Ac motor is a seal motor under pressure. A stepper can easliy be open and the interwheels can be fixed and cleaned.

What is the difference between a DC motor a servomotor and a stepper motor?

DC motor-DC (Direct Current) Motors are two wire (power & ground), continuous rotation motors.-The speed of DC motors is controlled using pulse width modulation (PWM), a technique of rapidly pulsing the power on and off. The percentage of time spent cycling the on/off ratio determines the speed of the motor, e.g. if the power is cycled at 50% (half on, half off), then the motor will spin at half the speed of 100% (fully on). Each pulse is so rapid that the motor appears to be continuously spinning with no stuttering.Servo Motor:-Servo motors are generally an assembly of four things: a DC motor, a gearing set, a control circuit and a position-sensor (usually a potentiometer).-The position of servo motors can be controlled more precisely than those of standard DC motors, and they usually have three wires (power, ground &). Power to servo motors is constantly applied, with the servo control circuit regulating the draw to drive the motor.-PWM is used for the control signal of servo motors. However, unlike DC motors it's the duration of the positive pulse that determines the position, rather than speed, of the servo shaft.Stepper Motor:-Stepper motors utilizes multiple toothed electromagnets arranged around a central gear to define position.-Stepper motors require an external control circuit or micro controller (e.g. a Raspberry Pi or Arduino) to individually energize each electromagnet and make the motor shaft turn.
