57HS064 Series 2 Phase Hybrid Stepper Motors

1. Product Overview

Step motor is a motor that converts the electrical pulse signal into the corresponding angle displacement or the line displacement. It can use the quantity and frequency of the pulse to control the rotation (rotation angle, rotation speed) in automation applications. For each of the pulse, the motor rotor rotates a angle or forward, and its output angle shift or line displacement is proportional to the input pulse, and the speed is proportional to the pulse frequency. Therefore, step motor is also called pulse motor.

In the case of non-overload, the speed of the motor and the stop position depends only on the frequency and number of the pulsed input, without being affected by the load change. That is to say, add a pulse signal to the motor, and the motor turns a step distance. The advantage of this linear relationship between pulse and angle rotation, plus that a step motor only has periodic errors without cumulative errors, make step motor widely used in automation speed, position and other control fields easily.

With the development of product research and development of technology, the performance of the step system has been even more improved. If the stepper system is not overloaded, there will be no step loss mostly nowadays, and life time very long, almost no need maintenance, which makes steppers popular and widely used in many kinds of industrial automation motion control applications.

Although the stepper motor and its control technology are currently very mature, if not used properly, there may still be a situation of step loss, i.e. position error. Next, we will analyze the common causes and solutions of position errors.

The reasons for the position error of stepper motors

Large load inertia

When the inertia of the load driven by the stepper motor is large, its inertia will generate inertia force, causing the current waveform output by the stepper motor controller to be inconsistent with the actual required current waveform, resulting in inaccurate position of the stepper motor.

The stepper motor driver is not set correctly

Incorrect settings of the stepper motor driver, such as fine fraction, step angle, and other parameter settings, can also lead to an increase in the position error of the stepper motor.

The pulse signal output by the stepper motor controller is unstable

When the pulse signal output by the stepper motor controller is unstable, it can lead to inaccurate position of the stepper motor. This situation is more common when using long-distance transmission of control signals.

The stepper motor is damaged

The rotor or stator of the stepper motor may be damaged, or the bearings may be damaged, which can lead to positional errors in the stepper motor.

Methods to solve the position error of stepper motors

Control load inertia

The position error of the stepper motor can be reduced by reducing the load inertia. For example, when driving a stepper motor with inertia loads, methods such as installing shock absorbers and changing the load inertia mode can be used to reduce the load inertia.

Set the driver parameters correctly

Correctly set the subdivision and step angle parameters of the stepper motor driver to ensure the position accuracy.

Stable output pulse signal

High precision pulse generators or adjustable filters can be used to stabilize the output pulse signal and reduce the position error of stepper motors.

Replace damaged stepper motor components

When the stepper motor is damaged, it is necessary to replace the corresponding components in order to restore the normal operation of the stepper motor.
