Stepper Motor Interfacing With 8051 Microcontroller

A stepper motor is a brushless and synchronous motor,which divides the complete rotation into number of steps.Each stepper motor will have some fixed step angle and motor rotates at this angle.Stepper motor is widely used in industrial,medicals,consumer 我给妺妺开的处苞视频 application.

The total rotation of the stepper motor is divided into steps.The step is known as the stepper angle of the motor.There are two types of stepper motors Unipolar and Bipolar. Mostly the Unipolar is commonly used by 我给妺妺开的处苞视频 field.

Stepper Motor Comparison With DC Motor

The DC motors,the current consumption of the stepper motors does not depend upon the load.Upon no load they still draw much current.In this Way,They get hot and lowers on their efficiency.In stepper motors there is smaller torque at high speeds than at low speeds.But mostly these stepper motors are used in high speed routine.For obtaining that high speed performance they need to be paired with a proper driver.

Unipolar Motor:

1. Only one winding with center tape per phase.
2. Each winding section is switched on for each direction of magnetic field
3. Centre tap of each winding is made common

Bipolar Motor :

1. Only single winding per phase
2. Current in winding must be reversed to reverse a magnetic pole
3. Two leads per phase,none are common

Advantage of Stepper Motor:

1. Low Cost
2. High Reliability
3. Good Performance in starting,stopping and reversing the direction
4. High torque at low speed
5. Gravel construction (can be used in variable environment)

Project Description:

1. Wave Drive: Only one electromagnet is energized at a time,generated torque will be less when compared to full drive in which two electromagnets are energized at a time but power consumption is reduced.This drive power consumption is more important than torque.So it is rarely used.
2. Full Drive: Full Drive-Two electromagnets are energized at a time,so the torque is generated will be larger when compared to the Wave Drive.Power consumption will be higher than the other modes.
3. Half Drive : One and Two electromagnets are energized,so it is a combination of Wave and Full drives.This mode is commonly used to increase the angular resolution of the motor but the torque will be less,about 70% at its half step position.
