Stepper

Stepper motors convert input pulses into precisely defined increment “steps”. Each step moves the motor shaft through a fixed angle, with a specific number of steps completing a full rotation. The actual angular rotation of the shaft is directly related to the number of pulses introduced. The position of the load can be accurately determined by counting the pulses entered. 2-phase, 3-phase, and Multi-phase stepper motors are used in open- and closed-loop systems with external controllers providing the switching pulses for commutation.
