How to select a suitable stepper motor

1. The choice of stepper motor torque

The holding torque of a stepper motor is similar to the “power” of a traditional motor. But the physical structure of stepping motors is completely different from AC and DC motors, and the output power of the motor is variable base on speed, current, and input voltage.

Generally speaking, if the needed torque is below 0.8N.m, choose nema8(20x20mm), nema11(28x28mm), nema14(35x35mm), nema16(39x39mm), nema17(42x42mm); if the torque is about 1N.m, choose the nema23 stepper motor. When the torque is several N.m or more, it is necessary to choose a stepper motor of nema34, nema42, and other specifications.

2. The choice of stepper motor speed

The output torque of the motor is inversely proportional to the speed.

That is to say, the torque of the stepping motor at low speed(a few hundred rpm) is high, but it is small when the stepper motor runs at high speed (1000 rpm-9000 rpm). For example:

Of course, some working conditions require high-speed motors, and the coil resistance and inductance of the stepping motor must be measured. Choose a motor with a smaller inductance, as a high-speed motor, can obtain a larger output torque. Conversely, when low speed and high torque are required, the inductance and the resistance should be larger.

3. Choose for the use environment of stepper motors

The special stepping motor is waterproof and oil-proof and is used on some special occasions. For special-purpose motors, it is necessary to select targeted ones. Customization is available for special usage.

4. Selection of the number of phases of the stepper motor

Generally, the stepper motor phase is not paid attention to customers. In fact, the more phases there are, the smaller the step angle can be made, and the smaller the vibration during work. In most cases, two-phase motors are chosen. In a high-speed and high-torque working environment, it is more practical to choose a three-phase stepper motor.

5. Special specifications selection according to the actual situation

Special specifications of stepper motors, for example, the diameter, length, lead screw, and direction of the output shaft can be customized.

 

 

 

 

6. Selection of no-load starting frequency of stepper motor

The no-load starting frequency of a stepper motor, usually called “idling frequency”. If it is required to start and stop frequently in an instant, and the speed is about 1000 rpm (or higher), it is usually necessary to “accelerate the start”. If you need to start directly to achieve high-speed operation, it is better to choose a reactive or permanent magnet motor, because the “idling frequency” of these motors is relatively high.

Stepper motors are coming on the China-Europe train!

 The “Dongguan Changping” China-Europe Express is launched!

At 16:30 on November 18, a railway container train with the words “Dongguan Changping” slowly left the Changsheng freight yard, marking the official launch of the China-Europe train with Dongguan Changping as its departure station.

The opening of the “Dongguan Changping” China-Europe Express is an important milestone in the construction of Dongguan’s transportation hub. It will provide more convenient channels for Dongguan manufacturing to “go out” and to “ship in”, and will surely lead Dongguan the high-quality development of foreign trade and economic cooperation.

Witnessed by the participants, the “Dongguan Changping” China-Europe train, which was loaded with electronic products, stepper motors, anti-epidemic supplies, furniture, hardware, and other goods worth more than 3 million US dollars, slowly departed from the Changping departure station and will pass through the Alashan Port. Departing, passing through Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus, Poland, and other countries, and finally arriving in Duisburg, Hamburg, Germany. It will only take 15days to arrive.

As a Dongguan stepper motor supplier, convenient transportation will give us more opportunities to serve customers. Our high-quality motors can quickly reach customers all over the world quickly.

ICAN TECH ATTENDED IAMD

 The 23rd South China International Industrial Automation Exhibition (IAMD Shenzhen) was held in Shenzhen. In the exhibition, ICAN Tech displayed four series of featured products, hybrid servo, precision speed control series, brushless motor and stepper motor, which was appreciated by many industry insiders.

Hybrid servo systems, precision speed regulation series, brushless motor systems, and stepper motor systems are more and more widely used in industries such as glue dispensers, 3D printing, packing as well as CNC. The followings are the demonstration.

BRAND STORY-PEAK

 20 years ago, as a civil servant, Julio Wang had a very stable life. But unwilling to be mediocre, he came to Guangdong to find some new chances. He came to a Japanese company, Dongguan Shinano, where he worked for 10years later.

There, he studies advanced Japanese management philosophy, quality control, mass production management. Then Julio Wang became the head of the quality department and was sent to work in Japan. He has always believed that quality is the life of an enterprise, especially for the industrial automation industry. This also strengthens Julio’s belief that to make products, we must make high-quality!

In 2009, Julio founded his own company ICAN Tech. He has always regarded Shinano motor as a benchmark, like a mountain peak to conquer. He wants to make even better products, so he founded his own brand “BEAK”—Beyond the Peak. He firmly believes that a company that puts quality first will become a century-old store.

MASS PRODUCTION OF CORELESS BLDC DRIVER

 On April 16, 2015, Mr. Shiraki, the president of Japan’s M-LINK Motor Co., Ltd., came to Dongguan ICAN Tech. He checked the progress of the Coreless DC brushless drive project that had been carried out before and confirmed the samples.

The two parties confirmed the project had fully met the customer requirements and decided to start mass production. M-LINK placed an order for the first batch production of 1,000 pieces of brushless DC motor drives. This project is used in Japanese medical testing equipment and other industries. The motor is developed by M-LINK, and the motor driver is developed by ICAN Tech.

The success of this project indicates that the company has the ability to support high-end motors, and it also leads the company’s quality management to a higher level.
