How to Select bldc motor and stepper motor?

Mainly depending on the specific application of the case may be, simply to determine: the nature of the load (such as horizontal or vertical load, etc.), torque, inertia, speed, accuracy, acceleration and deceleration, etc., the upper control requirements (such as port interface and communication requirements), is the main control position, torque or speed mode. Power supply is DC or AC power or battery power supply, voltage range. Accordingly, to determine the motor and equipped with the drive or controller models.

Choose the stepper motor or bldc motor controller?

In fact, the choice of what kind of motor should be based on the specific application, depending on their own characteristics. Please see table below, naturally understand.

Stepper motor system bldc motor system

Small and medium-range torque torque (20Nm usually less) small medium large, full range

Low speed range (usually in the following 2000RPM, high torque motor is less than 1000RPM) high (up to 5000RPM), DC bldc motor can even reach 1 to 2 million r / min

Main control position control diverse intelligent control, position / speed / torque mode

Vibration at low speed smoothness (but with a sub-type of drive can be improved) is good, runs smooth

Accuracy is generally low, higher high when the sub-type drive (depends on the specific feedback device resolution)

Torque-frequency characteristics of high speed, good torque down fast torque characteristics, features hard

Overload overload feature will be out of step 3 to 10 times overload (short)

The majority of open-loop feedback control mode, the encoder can also be connected to prevent the loss of step closed loop encoder feedback

Encoder Type – Optical Rotary Encoder (Incremental / Absolute), resolver-based

Response speed is generally fast
