Smart Servo Steppers vs. Smart Brushless Servos
Advantages
- Steppers have 3 times the continuous torque of brushless DC motors
- 20:1 Inertia mismatch
- Eliminate single stage gearbox and direct drive
- Power requirement 12 to 48Vdc, low amperage compared to brushless DC
Applications
- Filling & bagging
- Medical & laboratory equipment
- Peristaltic pumps
- High-end 3D printers
- Wheel drives
- Gantry systems
- Valve control
- General automation
Advantages
- Wider continuous torque speed range than stepper motors
- 10:1 Inertia mismatch
- Higher speed with a gear box can get higher torque than direct driven applications
- Low detent torque
Applications
- Battery-operated applications
- Labeling
- Filling & bagging
- Medical & laboratory equipment
- Router, plasma, CNC tables
- Gantry systems
- General Automation
- Robotics
