Stepper motor - discrete rotary motion
Among the numerous electric motor designs used to power machines and devices, one of the most popular technical solutions is the stepper motor. It is essentially a brushless DC motor, with the difference that its rotor rotates intermittently rather than continuously, controlled by a PWM signal. Stepper motors are used in robots, numerically controlled machine tools, printers, and the automotive industry, among other applications.
How does a stepper motor work?
A stepper motor, unlike BLDC motors and conventional DC commutator motors, is powered by a pulsed voltage (PWM). A single pulse (high state) corresponds to a single motor rotation. To increase the motor's step resolution, a special gear unit is used, as in the 28BYJ-48 motor. In this case, a full rotation of the motor shaft causes the output shaft to rotate by 1/64 of a revolution.
