The NEMA17 stepper motor with a holding torque of 4.2 kg-cm is a widely used component in various applications requiring precise motion control.
Its compact size, typically 42mm square, makes it suitable for smaller systems where space is limited.
This stepper motor operates by converting electrical pulses into precise mechanical rotations, making it ideal for tasks such as 3D printing, CNC machines, robotics, and automation systems.
With a step angle of typically 1.8 degrees per step (200 steps per revolution), this motor provides accurate positioning and smooth motion. It’s compatible with various driver boards and microcontrollers, offering flexibility in integration with different control systems.
Moreover, NEMA17 motors are known for their reliability and durability, making them a popular choice among hobbyists, makers, and professionals alike.
Motors and actuators are the integral part of any automation and control application. By using different kind of motors we control our position of the controlled object. The different types of motors are BLDC, Servo, Stepper, PMDC, Synchronous DC, in which we use Servo and Stepper motors for precise angular control and position control in applications like robotics, CNC Machines, Automated processes, 3D printers etc.
Servo motors are used in 180° Control applications and Stepper Motor is used when you need low speed but multiple rotations but in steps i.e. there are a specific number of steps in a revolution so you can control the final position of the motor by exciting the particular phase wires.
The motor has 6 lead wires and rated voltage is 12V. It can be operated at lower voltage but torque will drop. These motors have a step angle of 1.8 deg., this means that it has 200 steps per revolution for every step it will cover a 1.8° hence the level of control is also high.
Beyond industrial applications, these motors find utility in fields such as astrophotography, where they enable precise tracking of celestial objects, and in consumer electronics, where they drive innovations in home automation and digital imaging. With their compact size, high torque, and compatibility with various control systems, NEMA17 motors continue to be a cornerstone of modern engineering, driving innovation across a myriad of industries.
