They come in a variety of configurations and number of poles but they all make great electrical generators! Stepper motors are much better at this because they have many times more poles to pass next to each other thus generating electrical pulses.
This AC voltage can also be rectified and converted to a DC voltage with the addition of a simple full bridge rectifier explained below. The stepper motor produces a sine wave whose polarity positive or negative changes sign each half cycle. When the direction of the current is from the generator into the bridge at point c, the only available current path through the bridge is cbad, through the resistor from right to left in the diagram. During the next half cycle, the current direction is from the generator into the bridge at point d.
Then the only available path is dbac, but again the current direction is from right to left through the resistor. Stepper motors have an almost infinite resolution however the engineering tolerances of the motor really come in to play at such resolutions.
You will get stepping errors. The cheaper the motor — the more stepping errors you will get. In my code I had to reduce the resolution 4 fold to get an acceptable level of errors. This may not be the case if you use a H-Bridge and drive it with more current. Using this method I was able to precisely control a laser with the kind of resolution I would only have been able to get using some gears.
Skip to content. Star 1. That means we need only two signals for each driver. The step signal is used for making steps and looks like a PWM signal. Each pulse means that the stepper will move for one step or micro-step. Most common are motors with two coil windings, 4 wires. In picture below you can see a different wiring options for motors with 4, 6 or 8 wires. There are different types but the chopper drivers offer the best performance.
Also the micro-stepping offers a great solution at first sight but produces a problem of decreased torque. It is still extremely useful but we must use it properly. There are a lot of different ICs available for driving the stepper motor and many already made solutions like PoStep and PoStep which provide plug and play solution and are easy to use. And if you would like to learn more here is a great starting point. In this article we will try to explain all the important things about the stepper motor driver you need to know.
Table of Contents. Forward and reverse coil driving. Driver parameters configuration. With a stepping motor, the current is not under program control. I think that is a concept of mean value. No matter how the current and torque vary with time instantaneously. If its path of the angle is controlled to conform to the sine. So the torque should be proportional to sine in time scale of second from the discussion in my reply.
It is similar to the power of a AC machine can be calculated by the rms voltage it use in the scale of second. In the first place, it is impossible to have the angular position of a stepping motor shaft actually conform to a sine function of time, because the shaft moves by steps, that have an acceleration and velocity profile. In turn, the velocity and acceleration profile of each step the motor takes depends in a complicated way on the power supply and the motor driver you are using.
Can you post a diagram of the machine you are trying to use the stepper motor in. Then the stuff you are saying might make sense. As far as I can see you have still not told us if this machine rotates continuously at what speed?
I have not been able to visualize such a machine. Any machine I can conceive uses torque to cause an acceleration or deceleration for example a car driving on the road.
