A stepper motor is a brushless DC electric motor or BLDC electric motor that divides a full rotation into a number of equal steps. There are three main types of stepper motors: permanent magnet stepper, hybrid synchronous stepper, and variable reluctance stepper.  

Advantages

1.The rotation angle of the motor is proportional to the input pulse.

2.The motor has full torque at standstill (if the windings are energized)

3.Precise positioning and repeatability of movement since good stepper motors have an accuracy of 3 – 5% of a step and this error is non-cumulative from one step to the next.

4.Excellent response to starting/stopping/reversing.

5.Very reliable since there are no contact brushes in the motor. Therefore the life of the motor is simply dependent on the life of the bearing.

6.The motors response to digital input pulses provides open-loop control, making the motor simpler and less costly to control.

7.It is possible to achieve very low-speed synchronous rotation with a load that is directly coupled to the shaft.

8.A wide range of rotational speeds can be realized as the speed is proportional to the frequency of the input pulses.

Disadvantages

1.Resonances can occur if not properly controlled.

2.Not easy to operate at extremely high speeds.

Nide Multi-pole BLDC motor stepper motor stator winding machine is suitable for stepper motor winding. This machine could do indexing, winding, wire cutting automatically. Operator only needs to load and unload stator. Machine movement is controlled by PLC. All the parameter could be set on the touch screen, inculuding winding speed, wire diameter, turn number, indexing angle etc.It has one working station.
