Information about Encoder Stepper Motor against Step Missing Problems

This week's topic in the blog posts we prepared as Şahin Rulman will be stepper motors with encoder. In this article, we will provide information about the encoder stepper motor, which is effective against step missing problems, and we will explain what those who want to buy an encoder stepper motor should generally pay attention to and its differences from other stepper motor types. We hope it will be useful content for you and wish you a pleasant reading.

General Information About Stepper Motors with Encoder

Stepper motors with encoder provide great advantages, especially for projects where situations such as step missing will cause problems and where there is sensitivity about step missing. Equipping these motors with a closed loop system eliminates step loss problems. During operation, these motors provide information by giving signals during their rotation speed. Another of the most important features of stepper motors with encoder is that it shows you how many revolutions the stepper motor has made in the time period you specify.

Stepper motors with encoder work synchronously with the stepper motor drivers. Problems occurring in the steps while the motor is running are immediately transmitted to the stepper motor driver. Encoder stepper motors, which are a type of stepper motor, are divided into three types. These; stepper motor with encoder and gearbox, stepper motor with planetary gearbox with encoder and hybrid servo drive.

The main features to consider when purchasing a stepper motor with encoder are as follows:

• Maximum torque of the engine,
  
• Holding torque of the motor,
  
• Depending on the flange size of the motor

Now, let's compare the general features of encoder stepper motors with other stepper motor types:

Stepper Motor with Encoder or Stepper Motor with Gearbox?

We have listed the general features of the encoder stepper motor above. These motors come to the fore especially in projects where stepping problems are very important. Gearmotor stepper motors stabilize the rotation speeds of the machines. In other words, whatever the appropriate rotation speed for the machines is, it reduces or increases the rotation speed of the machine accordingly. On the other hand, another prominent feature of this stepper motor type is that it reacts to situations where the speed change is very sudden and meets the need for high torque even at low speed. Which one you choose depends on how the features of these stepper motors meet your needs.

Stepper Motor with Encoder or Stepper Motor with Planetary Gearbox?

Planetary geared stepper motors get their name from the fact that the rotation of the teeth in the mechanism around each other resembles planetary movements. One of the most important features of planetary gearbox stepper motors is that they can easily meet high torque demands from low speed. A stepper motor driver is needed to control this type of stepper motor. Which type of stepper motor you choose depends on its ability to meet your needs, as we mentioned in the previous section.

Stepper Motor with Encoder or Stepper Motor with Brake?

The stepper motor type with brake is especially effective against power outages. As a matter of fact, thanks to its structure, it stops the engine from running in case of any power outage. While doing this, it maintains the current position of the engine. Thanks to this feature, the motor mechanism is saved from potential damage in case of power outages. Just like the stepper motor with planetary gearbox, a stepper motor driver is needed for its operation.
