STEP MOTORS<br />
Introduction<br />
To Step Motors<br />
<strong>Superior</strong> <strong>Electric</strong> <strong>step</strong> <strong>motors</strong> provide very precise, cost<br />
effective, motion control.<br />
<strong>Superior</strong> <strong>step</strong> <strong>motors</strong> inherently move in small, very<br />
precise, 1.8° increments (200 / revolution). This <strong>step</strong>ping<br />
action is simple to control and does not require<br />
complicated, expensive feedback devices. With micro<strong>step</strong>ping<br />
drives, each 1.8° <strong>step</strong> can be broken into even<br />
smaller increments. And, if position verification is<br />
required, <strong>motors</strong> are available with encoders.<br />
Due to their ease of use, simplified control needs and<br />
freedom from expensive feedback requirements, <strong>Superior</strong><br />
<strong>step</strong> <strong>motors</strong> are excellent alternatives to pneumatic,<br />
hydraulic and servo motor systems.<br />

Sizing and Selection Software for<br />
<strong>Superior</strong> <strong>Electric</strong> Products<br />
Step motor systems are often used in high performance<br />
positioning systems. The correct motor and drive are<br />
equally important for the system to meet performance and<br />
cost goals. To select a motor and drive for a given<br />
situation requires an analysis of the load, mechanical<br />
system and desired cycle times or speeds.<br />
MOTIONEERING ® Software for<br />
<strong>Superior</strong> <strong>Electric</strong>, makes the selection<br />
process easy.<br />
MOTIONEERING ® is a menu driven, Windows ® -based<br />
program that automatically takes into<br />
account load, motor and drive<br />
parameters. A wide variety of<br />
mechanisms are accommodated<br />
including: lead screw, rack and<br />
pinion, conveyor (belt and pulley),<br />
nip rolls, and rotary, as well as direct<br />
data entry.<br />
MOTIONEERING ® provides a versatile environment for<br />
choosing the optimum system for your application, and is<br />
available free of charge.
