Linear stepper motor is a special stepper motor whose axis is parallel to the axis of rotation of the motor. Linear stepper motors have the characteristics of high precision, high stability and high efficiency, so they are widely used in the following scenarios:

1. Industrial automation: linear stepper motors are used in industrial robots, mold machinery, printing machinery and other equipment.

2. Plane movement: linear stepper motor is used for flat mobile equipment, such as laser cutting machine, printer, scanner, etc.

3. Measuring instruments: linear stepper motors are used for measuring instruments, such as high-precision three-dimensional scanners, optical measuring equipment, etc.

4. Medical equipment: used in medical equipment such as medical equipment, surgical instruments, etc.

5. Other applications: Linear stepper motor can also be used for camera lens focusing, optical equipment movement, etc.

Stepper motor is mainly used in some occasions with positioning requirements.

First, for example, the table dragging of online cutting, the table of the hair planting machine (pore positioning), the packaging machine (fixed length), basically involve the occasion of positioning.

Second, it is widely used in ATM machines, inkjet machines, engravers, photo machines, spraying equipment, medical instruments and equipment, computer peripherals and mass storage equipment, precision instruments, industrial control systems, office automation, robots and other fields, especially suitable for applications requiring stable operation, low noise, fast response, long service life and high output torque.

Third, stepper motor in computer embroidery machine and other textile machinery equipment has a wide range of applications, this kind of stepper motor is characterized by keeping torque is not high, frequent start response speed, low operating noise, stable operation, good control performance, low cost of the whole machine.

Stepper motors can be used to control car engines, enabling one-hundredth acceleration or deceleration, and effective control of emission control systems, thereby improving car reliability and fuel efficiency. Stepper motors can also be used in laser marking machines, which can be precisely positioned, and can more accurately control the position and definition of patterns, improving manufacturing efficiency. In addition, when used in CNC machine tools, it can accurately position materials and improve the cutting accuracy of machine tools; stepper motors can also be used in electronic products and medical equipment to achieve more precise motion control.

Disadvantages: There are some disadvantages in the use of stepper motors, such as jitter, drive wiring errors, etc. Jitter is caused by the small instantaneous displacement of the motor during operation, which may affect the accuracy and working effect. Wrong wiring of the driver, inconsistent input current of the driver and output current of the motor may lead to abnormal operation of the motor. In addition, the reverse force of the stepping motor is small, the speed variation is too large, and the running noise will be relatively large, so it is not suitable for applications with high precision control requirements.

The application prospects of integrated closed-loop stepper motors in the field of industrial automation are promising

Stepper motor in these years of development is obvious to all, with the rapid development of mechatronics in recent years, but also driven the rapid development of some of its parts, stepper motor is a relatively fast development of electromechanical components in the electromechanical industry, but also a product widely used in the entire industry, and stepper motor is divided into permanent magnet, reactive and hybrid three types of products.

With the more and more advanced technology, stepper motors have also been striving to innovate and change, such as hybrid screw stepper motor, hybrid stepper motor, DC brushless motor, DC brushless driver, linear stepper motor, linear actuator and screw stepper and so on are popular products in the electromechanical industry recently. The birth of these products also represents a new milestone for stepper motors, as all products begin to develop towards intelligence, the technological pace of stepper motors is getting closer and closer to the front.

The competition in the market is becoming more and more fierce, and the needs of customers are becoming more and more diverse and demanding. The original mode of producing a single motor product has been difficult to meet the needs of the market, and the future of the motor must be systematic, integrated and integrated. In such a market background, we provide our customers with integrated stepper motor with drive control, integrating stepper drive, motor, encoder, combining drive and control, small and precise, users do not need to assemble drive and control separately, greatly saving users' time and resources, and providing convenience for users.

At present, there are also integrated stepper servo motors with closed-loop control and encoder functions on the market, because they use closed-loop control, so one of its main features is that they do not lose step. And it is understood that there is no stepper motor with closed-loop control with thrust control products on the market, the speed and distance of motor operation can be adjusted through the control panel, easier than the traditional servo cylinder can be controlled, and the accuracy is higher, and the application prospects in the field of industrial automation are promising.
