Stepper motor is a DC motor. It differs with conventional motors, in the sense; stepper motor is used for positioning the rotor at a specified position. A sequential magnetization and demagnetization, enables the rotor of the motor to rotate on its axis by a fixed angle. If this is so, it should be possible to rotate only a few steps either in clockwise or anti-clockwise direction. For example: In a printer, a stepper motor controls the print head movement. A stepper motor can be used in any place where, a precise mechanical movement is desired. Stepper motor module, Model IM-14 is a single stepper motor module. A 3Kg/cm2 motor is used and supplied with this module. The module has built-in power supplies, interface electronics to drive the motor. Number of steps and direction are programmable. This module requires external control system.
Specifications:
- One 3Kg/cm2 Stepper motor supplied.
- Built-in power supply.
- Interface electronics included.
Note: This experimental module can be interfaced to all Microprocessor trainers, Micro control trainers or IBM PC Add – on card Model: IBR-1.
