General information on stepping motor systems
Description
Stepping motors are a special type of synchronous motor
triggered through electrical pulses from a required control
unit. Here, a pulsealwaysangle. This permits positioning without acknowledgement.
Due to their "digital" rotation, stepping motorsare used asswitch mechanismsand in positioning technology. It should
be noted that thecontrolsystem does not receiveany kind of
acknowledgement that the motor has, in fact, performed its
step.

· Set phasecurrent lower (to the valueactually required).
· Operating frequencies not equal to resonance frequen

"critical" step frequency usually show good results.
Thestepping motor is "pulled" through thecriticalareas

Caution
· Place the motor cablesand thesignalcablesat a
distance from each other where possible, e.g. in cable
channels with intermediate walls. Use only screened
cables for the connection to the motor and cables
twisted in pairs for signallines.
In this way you can avoid electromag
