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.
A normal motor run at a fixed speed depending on: AC motors: Voltage and frequency (Hetz) and number of poles DC Motors: Armature voltage Stepper motors speed depend on the drive pulse frequency.
In 1920,English engineer Walker invented the frist stepper motor which was a switched reluctance stepper motor.
The stepper motor is located in the instrument cluster. The stepper motor is what turns the needles in all the gauges.
With a DC motor, power is supplied from a controller and transmitted to the motor windings via brushes and a commutator using pulse width modulation. This requires that the controller be adequate to handle the power/heat of the application and that the brushes and commutator are well maintained as they are wearing parts. With an AC servomotor, the controller only provides a low power signal to any size motor. Raw power to the motor is handled separately from the control circuit. The control signal is used to control the position of the motor which has internal position sensing capability. Power to the AC servo is always on.
You could purchase a new stepper motor driver at a Home Depot. They offer new stepper motor drivers at great prices and the new stepper motor drivers are very durable.
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.
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.
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.

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