Speed regulation method of stepper motor driver _ The role of stepper motor driver
Speed regulation method for stepper motor driver
With the rapid development of power electronics technology, the performance indicators of variable frequency speed regulation
can fully reach or even exceed those of DC motor speed regulation systems. The stepper motor driver adjusts the speed of the
stepper motor by adjusting the pulse frequency of the input driver and the subdivision parameters of the driver, which is actually
controlling the number of steps of the stepper motor per unit time.
1、 Changing the number of pole pairs for speed regulation: Advantages: ① No additional slip loss, high efficiency; ② The control
circuit is simple, easy to maintain, and has a low price; ③ Cooperating with stator voltage regulation or electromagnetic differential
clutch can achieve smooth speed regulation with high efficiency. Disadvantages: Stepwise speed regulation cannot achieve seamless
speed regulation, and due to limitations in motor structure and manufacturing processes, only 2-3 pole pairs of stepped speed regulation
can usually be achieved, with a relatively limited speed range.
