Key Features & Benefits of Stepper Motors

Accurate, repeatable positioning with fine step angles and microstepping
AZ Series absolute technology (battery-free) — home-free start-up and quick recovery after power loss
High holding torque without continuous servo tuning
Simple control & setup (pulse/direction, I/O; fieldbus options model-dependent)
Compact gearmotor options (planetary/right-angle) to raise torque density
Smooth motion profiles with reduced vibration and resonance control
Cost-effective vs. servo for many indexing/positioning tasks

Where Stepper Motors Excel

Precise Indexing & Pick-and-Place

Hit exact positions and repeat them all day—great for fixtures, jigs, small gantries and automated format changes.

Compact Motion With High Torque

Short motor + gearbox packages deliver strong low-speed torque for feeders, small conveyors and dial tables.

Fast, Home-Free Start-Ups

With AZ Series absolute tech, machines resume known positions after power cycles—no limit/home moves, less downtime.

FAQs about Stepper Motors

Quick answers on selection, accuracy, control, duty cycle, gearheads and support in Ireland.

When should I choose a stepper over a servo or BLDC?

Choose a stepper for accurate, repeatable positioning and strong hold torque with simple control. Use servo for very high speeds/dynamics and BLDC for efficient continuous speed control.

How accurate are stepper motors?

Steppers offer fine step angles and excellent repeatability; microstepping smooths motion. Overall accuracy depends on mechanics (backlash, compliance).

What’s special about the AZ Series?

It provides battery-free absolute position reference, so you can power up and run without homing—great for short cycles and recovery.

Do I need encoders?

Many stepper apps run open-loop; encoders can be added for feedback/monitoring or to detect stalls in demanding cycles.

How do I control speed and position?

Via the driver: pulse/direction, digital I/O, or available fieldbus options (series-dependent). Profiles (accel/decel) are set in the driver/HMI.

Are gearboxes available?

Yes—matched planetary or right-angle gearheads increase torque and resolution while keeping footprints compact.

Can steppers run continuously?

Yes, within thermal limits. We size the motor/driver for your duty cycle and ambient to avoid overheating.

What supply voltages are supported?

Multiple driver voltage options exist; we’ll align with your panel standard and available mains.

How do I minimise vibration/resonance?

Use microstepping, appropriate inertia ratios, and—if needed—dampers or gearboxes. We’ll tune motion profiles accordingly.

Can LVP help with sizing and lead times?

Absolutely—LVP will size, select and ship the motor/driver/gearhead you need, with commissioning guidance and after-sales support across Ireland.
