Introduction:
Closed loop integrated stepper motor integrated machine controller, driver, encoder in one, small size, space saving, simple wiring, but also reduce interference, more stable signal.
Advantages:
1.Ultra-low vibration and low noise;
2. Small size, light weight,
3. More concise structure, simple wiring;
4. Higher mechanical efficiency;
5. More stable signal reception;
Disadvantages (compared to split motors) :
1. The integrated structure cannot be repaired separately, only the whole machine can be replaced;
2. Tight structure, high technical requirements, relatively higher price;
3. Low motor power and speed;
4. Shorter life than split type;
5.Integrated motor is usually self-cooling, heat dissipation efficiency is lower;
6.More flexible application;
Applications:
Due to the controller is integrated with the motor, it has a simple and compact structure, which is appropriate for some occasions where the size requirement of the motor or high-precision control is strict required. Such as some medical equipment, machine tools, robots and other fields of application.The application of split stepper motor is more flexible, and can be freely combined according to the actual needs of the application, using multiple controllers to control multiple motors. Therefore, split stepper motors are often used in the fields of like stage lighting, robotic arms, CNC, etc.
Conclusion:
To sum up,the integrated closed-loop stepper motor is more applied to occasions requiring high-precision control, while the split stepper motor is suitable for applications requiring flexible layout and multi-axis control.
