What are the applications of stepper motors?

Stepper motors are widely used in various fields. Stepper motors are widely used in various fields of production practice. Its biggest application is in the manufacture of numerical control machine tools, because stepping motors do not need a / D conversion, can directly convert digital pulse signal into angular displacement, so it is considered as an ideal actuator of numerical control machine tools. Early stepper motor output torque is relatively small, can not meet the needs, in use and hydraulic torque amplifier together with the composition of hydraulic pulse motor. With the development of stepper motor technology, stepper motor has been able to be used in the system alone, and has become an irreplaceable executive component. For example, the stepper motor is used as the drive motor of the feed servo mechanism of the NC milling machine. In this application, the stepper motor can accomplish two tasks simultaneously, one is to transfer torque, the other is to transmit information. The stepper motor can also be used as a driving motor for the synchronous system of CNC worm wheel grinding machine. In addition to the application of CNC machine tools, stepper motors can also be used in other machinery, such as automatic feeder motor, as a general floppy disk drive motor, can also be used in printers and plotters.
