Understanding the Role of Geared Stepper Motor

A geared stepper motor is specifically design for higher torque, high resolution and speed reduction. There are various other purposes serve by a stepper motor with gearbox and these include downsizing and high rigidity. Where the motor is made less prone to the effects of fluctuations in friction load.

The role of a micro stepper motor is closely related to the motor development. Earlier when the AC motor was just a simple and easy to use rotating device. A geared stepper motor was use for changing the speed of the motor and even in the form of torque amplifier. But with the introduction of motors including speed control functionalities, the main role of the gearhead now remains amplifying torque.

However, with the wise acceptance of the stepper motors in meeting the requirements for position and speed. Gearheads have now found several new purposes, like improvement in allowed inertia; reduction of motor vibration and torque amplification. Furthermore, the proper positioning potential of the motors had created good demand for backlash-free and high-precision gearheads. Dissimilar to the traditional gearheads for the AC motors.

Since the stepper motors and the other control motors are specifically design for allowing proper positioning, the gearheads in these motors should offer the same level of accuracy. Hence, geared stepper motors are design for accommodating high speed and high torque.
