[0002] Brushed stepper motors are typically controlled by a drive circuit that energizes the stepper windings in a specific sequence, causing the rotor to rotate step by step. This control method makes stepper motors ideal for applications requiring precise positioning. However, some brushed stepper motors on the market have complex designs, leading to high manufacturing costs and difficult maintenance. Some motors may exhibit positional errors during operation, affecting their performance. They are prone to failure under prolonged operation or harsh environments, reducing their lifespan. Many motors perform poorly in terms of dust and water resistance, making them susceptible to environmental influences. Insufficient lubrication can also lead to excessive frictional heat during operation, affecting performance. Installation and use are cumbersome, increasing the burden on users.
