Stepper Motor Torque: Up to 1.5 Nm?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the torque capabilities of small stepper motors, specifically inquiring whether a stepper motor around 10 cm in length can generate torque up to 1.5 Nm. Users suggest researching specific stepper motor specifications online to find suitable models that meet these torque requirements. Additionally, the possibility of using gearheads to enhance torque output, similar to brushless DC motors, is mentioned as a viable solution for applications needing higher torque.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of stepper motor specifications and torque ratings
  • Familiarity with gearhead mechanisms and their applications
  • Knowledge of brush and brushless DC motors
  • Basic principles of robotics and motor selection
NEXT STEPS
  • Research specific stepper motor models capable of delivering 1.5 Nm torque
  • Explore gearhead options compatible with stepper motors for torque enhancement
  • Learn about the differences between brush and brushless DC motors
  • Investigate torque calculation methods for robotics applications
USEFUL FOR

Robotics engineers, motor selection specialists, and anyone involved in designing systems requiring precise torque control in compact applications.

Hi,

currently I am working on robotics application.

I am using RC Servo motor (because of the size and the torque it can generate)

however we want to upgrade it either to Brush DC Motor, or Brushless DC Motor, or Stepper Motor.

I have been searching for Brush and Brushless, however I forget to check about stepper motor.

I would like to ask, is small size Stepper motor (arround 10 cm in length) is able to generate high torque up to 1.5 Nm? if it is not possible, is there any gearhead to boost the torque? (just like the brushless DC Motor)

Thanks,

Tommy

I'm sure if you look up the specific stepper you are thinking of using online you will find some specs...
 
any website that you can suggest? Thanks
