The PF/PFC series tin-can stepping motors are conventional magnet-driven rotary stepper motors with a permanent magnet in their rotor core. Rotating in proportion to the number of pulses sent to the motor, the stepper motor is frequency synchronized and can change speed depending on the frequency of the pulse signal. Because of its high torque […]

Stepper motors excel in unique conveying application
Stepper motors are common in positioning applications and have the advantage of being accurately controllable down to fractions of a degree, even without the use of feedback devices such as encoders or resolvers. They operate in open-loop (not closed-loop), without the need for tuning parameters as in closed-loop systems. Stepper motors are also relatively inexpensive. Because […]
