Question
Download Solution PDFA stepper motor is to be used to drive the linear axis of a certain Mechatronics system. The motor output shaft is connected to a screw thread with a 30 mm pitch. Linear resolution of 0.5 mm is stipulated. What is the needed step angle?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution

Step angle of the stepper motor is defined as the angle traversed by the motor in one step.
\(step\;angle = \;\frac{{Linear\;resolution}}{{pitch}}\; \times 360^\circ \)
Calculation:
Pitch = 30 mm, Linear resolution = 0.5 mm
\(step\;angle = \;\frac{{0.5}}{{30}} \times 360^\circ = 6^\circ \)
