The document discusses Applied Motion Products, Inc. and provides an overview of their stepper motor and drive products. It describes how stepper motors inherently have a resonance problem due to the rotor behaving like a mass on a spring. When the motor takes a step, the rotor settles into position after each step, but this settling can last over a second and cause rough motion or loss of torque and position if not addressed. Applied Motion drives aim to improve smoothness and accuracy by eliminating resonance and adding closed-loop control with encoder feedback.

11. Inherent Problem
Resonance
Step motors are resonant because in short
their rotors behave much like a classic
“mass on a spring”.

12. Inherent Problem
Resonance
When a step motor takes a step, the rotor
reacts to the changing stator field in the
same way a mass on a spring reacts to a
change in position.

13. Inherent Problem
Resonance
Just like the mass on a spring,
the motion of the rotor settles
into position after each step.
This settling can last as long as a
second or more in worst cases!

Resonance
If the settling doesn’t occur
rapidly, or the ringing of the rotor
gets worse, the motor can
become unstable and lose
position (stall).

of resonance.
Rough motion
Loss of torque, which can lead to loss of
position

Rough motion
When step motors resonate they generally
vibrate excessively.
This can be bad for sensitive equipment.

17. Inherent Problem
Resonance
Loss of torque
When step motors resonate much of the
torque available in the motor is used up in
keeping the rotor synchronized with the stator
field, and in worst cases the motor will not
have enough torque to move the load.
Loss of torque often leads to stalling.

19. Solution
Microstepping
Microstepping does not eliminate the
natural resonant frequency of a step
motor, but it does diminish the level of
excitation.
In other words, smaller steps mean
smaller responses.

20. Solution
Microstepping
Stepper drives from Applied Motion can
microstep even when the control signal is
low resolution.
This is called Microstep Emulation.

21. Solution
Torque Ripple Smoothing
Torque ripple smoothing reduces the
inherent torque ripple that all step motors
display at low speeds (typically well under
5 rps).
Torque ripple smoothing works by applying
a “negative” current to the motor which
offsets the torque ripple.

22. Solution
Electronic Damping
Electronic damping remedies two aspects
of the motor’s resonance.
Inherent resonant frequencies of the motor.
A complex interaction between drive and
motor that happens at higher speeds, often
called “mid-band resonance”.

25. Inherent Problem
Accuracy – Open Loop Systems
When properly sized an open loop step
motor system can be adequately accurate
for most applications.
Keys to proper sizing are knowing the load
and knowing the move parameters ahead
of time.
However, the nature of an open loop
system is such that no built-in mechanism
exists for indicating a motor mis-position or

26. Solution
Accuracy – Open Loop
In situations where an extra layer of
accuracy is required, step motors from
Applied Motion can be fitted with high
resolution, incremental encoders.
The encoder is mounted to the rear shaft of
the step motor (order “D” option).

two main functions when an encoder is

Toll Free Phone (877) SERVO98

sales@electromate.com

29. Solution
Fool-proof Stall Detection
Stall detection works when the stepper
drive monitors encoder position relative to
commanded motor position.
As soon as a mis-position occurs the drive
stops motion and sets a fault to notify the
user.
This method is fool-proof because it works
under all conditions, regardless of motor
speed or load conditions.

30. Solution
Stall Prevention
Like stall detection, Stall Prevention works
when the stepper drive monitors encoder
position relative to commanded motor
position.
As soon as a lag between the encoder
position and the commanded motor
position occurs the stepper drive starts to
slow the motor speed.

31. Solution
Stall Prevention
Slowing down the motor allows the motor
to operate in a speed range where its
torque output is higher, and therefore have
a better chance of finishing the move.

Position Maintenance
With Stall Prevention turned on the drive
automatically corrects errors in motor
position from external forces when the
motor is at rest.
In other words, if the motor is “bumped”
out of position it automatically corrects
itself.

First, why brushless?
No maintenance – One of the best reasons
to choose brushless motors is because they
require basically no maintenance. There
are no brushes to wear out.
Cost is steadily decreasing – In the past
brushless motors were always the most
expensive, however their prices continue to
drop and make it more attractive to use
brushless motors.
