A:
No. Different motors have different back EMF values and therefore have different requirements to operate properly. The 2-Phase Stepping Motors section of our General Catalog lists the various AC or DC drivers which have been optimized to drive some

A:
A standard 2-phase motor has 50 rotor teeth (1.8/step) whereas the high-resolution type has 100 rotor teeth (0.9/step). This type motor is preferred to reduce vibration of increase the positioning accuracy.

A:
There is no difference in step angle. However, in half-stepping every other step has a smaller torque vector than the 2 adjacent ones. Depending on whether you land on one of the smaller vectors, you can have less holding torque. Full stepping has

A:
It depends on your personal preference and requirements, as well as the following considerations: The 2-phase stepper and the DC servo have a smaller ‘footprint’ than the 5-phase stepper. However, the 5-phase provides the greatest resolution due to
