Why is RMS current important in stepper motor applications?

December 7, 2021 By Danielle Collins Leave a Comment

stepper motor phase diagram

Most precision stepper motor applications — especially those in automation and motion control — use a control method referred to as microstepping, which creates a sinusoidal (or nearly sinusoidal) current waveform, rather than the square wave of current produced with typical full-step control. The current rating of a stepper motor depends on the amount of […]

How do manufacturers address cogging in linear motors?

November 6, 2021 By Danielle Collins Leave a Comment

linear motor

Iron core linear motors are known for their high continuous and peak force capabilities, good thermal management, and excellent force-to-size ratio. But they’re also known to produce cogging forces, which lead to force ripple, or variation in output force. But how much of a problem is cogging for iron core linear motors, and what are […]
