Two phase open-loop stepper motor (standard type) is a common type of electric motor widely used in industrial automation, mechanical equipment, electronic equipment and other fields. The following is a detailed analysis of the motor type:
1、 Basic Definition
Two phase stepper motor: refers to a stepper motor with two phase windings inside the motor. By controlling the energization status of these two windings, the rotation and positioning of the motor can be achieved.
Open loop control: In contrast to closed-loop control, open-loop stepper motors do not require position feedback devices and only control the operation of the motor by controlling the input pulse signal. This control method is simple and cost-effective, but the control accuracy is greatly affected by external interference.
Standard type: usually refers to stepper motors that meet certain industry standards or general specifications, with wide applicability and interchangeability.
2、 Main features
High precision: The step angle of a two-phase stepper motor is usually small, such as 0.9 °, 1.8 °, etc., which enables it to achieve high positioning accuracy. This is particularly important for application scenarios that require precise position control.
Stable output: The output speed of the stepper motor is relatively stable, and it is not prone to vibration and noise, making it suitable for environments that require smooth operation.
Strong controllability: By changing the frequency, step angle, and direction of current pulses, precise control of motor rotation can be achieved. This flexibility enables stepper motors to adapt to a variety of different application scenarios.
High power output: Compared to other types of motors, stepper motors can output higher torque and driving force, making them suitable for applications that require larger loads.
Simple structure: The structure of the stepper motor is relatively simple, with easy installation and debugging, reducing the cost of use and maintenance difficulty.
3、 Working principle
The working principle of a two-phase open-loop stepper motor is based on electromagnetic induction and pulse control. When a pulse signal is input to the motor driver, the driver will control the two phase windings of the motor to be powered forward or backward at a certain timing. This change in the energized state causes the motor output shaft to rotate in steps at a certain angle. By continuously inputting pulse signals, the motor can achieve continuous rotation or precise positioning.
4、 Application Fields
Due to its high precision, stable output, and strong controllability, the two-phase open-loop stepper motor is widely used in the following fields:
Automation equipment: such as CNC machine tools, automated production lines, robots, etc., used for precise control of the position and speed of moving parts.
Electronic devices, such as printers, scanners, cameras, etc., are used to control the movement and positioning of lenses, photosensitive elements, etc.
Medical equipment, such as surgical robots, X-ray machines, etc., require precise control of their movement and positioning to ensure the safety and accuracy of medical operations.
Household appliances: such as washing machines, air conditioners, induction cookers, etc., used to control the operation of water pumps, fans, valves, etc.
5、 Precautions
Power supply voltage: Ensure that the power supply voltage matches the requirements of the motor driver to avoid damage to the motor caused by high or low voltage.
Control signal: The control signal line should be securely connected to avoid signal interference or loss that may cause the motor to lose step or be damaged.
Heat dissipation and protection: Pay attention to the heat dissipation of the motor during use to avoid overheating that may cause a decrease in motor performance or damage.
