Simple electrical motor selection guide.
Selecting the right motor - Stepper or Servo ?
Ask the following questions to select the right motors
1.What is the load motor need to move? 2.What are the speeds motor needs to run at? 3.Does motor load vary throughout the move? 4.Is there any special function needs to be handled ? (Torque limiting,Holding torque) 5.AC power or DC power? 6.Budget?
Stepper or Servo ?
Motor performance - Its often assumed servo motors outperform steppers of equivalence size.Take a look at a general torque vs speed curve of a stepper motor and servo motor of comparable size.
Features and Functions - Position feedback Holding torque Torque control Tuning required Support dynamic load Low speed smoothness Cost
