\"closed_loop_stepper_motor_system\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A\u00a0closed-loop step motor system<\/a>\u00a0combines the advantages of servo motor and stepper\u00a0motor technologies. Functionally, a closed-loop stepper motor system will run much more smoothly and with less resistance than a standard stepper motor setup. Since a closed-loop system provides feedback and control as well as short transient and free oscillation times, the closed-loop system will not lose or gain steps.<\/p>\n

A closed-loop stepper motor system, such as the 86BHH76-860H<\/a>,\u00a0may be the best option when the application requires improved energy efficiency and smoothness of operation, especially at high loads. In\u00a0addition, a closed-loop system has the advantage over servo motor systems of higher\u00a0torque at low RPMs. Additional benefits include short transient times, less packaging, accurate\/correct positioning using feedback from encoders integrated into the motor(s) to\u00a0the controller, and comparatively low prices.<\/p>\n
