What Are Stepper Motors?
Stepper motors are a relatively new phenomena in the world of motors. The earliest motors were merely coils of wire with an electric current that spun in the presence of a magnet. Stepper motors introduced precise speed and control of the motor position through the use of microprocessors. Since the motor moves from location to location in steps, the motor became known as the “stepper motor.” Applications The stepper motor allows synchronization of a motor, which may not seem like a big deal until you realize that there are numerous applications for such a motor. The synchronization of a stepper motor controller allows factories to precisely control the flow or output produced by a motor, allows robots to move with precision, and allows control and positioning of things like cameras. It also is used for rotational speed control. Another way to use stepper motors is in remote-controlled applications. Disadvantages One of the disadvantages is that some stepper motors are often rather jerk
