step motors

Achieve precise positioning and high torque at slow speeds without investing in a servo motor, thanks to Galil's integrated high-power (8 Amps continuous), 2-phase drive for closed-loop step motor control. This innovative solution blends the economic advantages of step motors with the accuracy typically associated with servo motors, presenting a viable option for both mechanical and electrical engineers in a range of applications.

Traditionally, automation applications have utilized either step motors, known for open-loop operation, cost-effectiveness, and suitability for high torque, slow-speed applications with moderate positional accuracy, or servo motors, which offer precision control and smooth motion at both high and low speeds through incremental or absolute feedback systems. Servo motors usually require more sophisticated control systems incorporating features like PID filters, making them pricier and more complex to stabilize compared to step motors.
