1. What is a stepper motor, and how does it work?
A stepper motor is a type of electric motor that moves in discrete steps, providing precise control over positioning. It operates by energizing coils in a specific sequence, which causes the motor shaft to rotate step by step.
2. What are the main advantages of stepper motors over traditional DC motors?
Stepper motors provide better precision, control, and torque at low speeds. They do not require feedback systems to maintain position, making them ideal for applications requiring accurate positioning.
3. What is a Brushless BLDC motor, and what makes it different from stepper motors?
A brushless DC (BLDC) motor is an electric motor powered by a DC electric source without the use of brushes. It offers higher efficiency, longer lifespan, and smoother operation compared to stepper motors, especially at higher speeds.
4. How can a stepper motor be customized for my application?
Our factory offers OEM/ODM services, allowing stepper motors to be customized based on your requirements, including shaft design, winding configurations, voltage, and torque specifications.
5. Can I get a custom Brushless BLDC motor for my product?
