Testing Stepper Motors


stepper motor CMTS Features
  • Complete Test System: Fully equipped with a custom dynamometer, supporting electronics, stepper motor testing software and computer hardware; all built into a heavy-duty, portable table

  • 6 Different Motor Parameters Tested: Measures holding torque, detent torque, pull-in torque, pull-out torque, angle torque and step response

  • Motor Drive Control: Provides enable, pulse (step), direction and power relay signals

  • Optional Power Measurement: with Magtrol's 6510e Single-Phase and/or 6530 Three-Phase Power Analyzer
Components Motor Testing Parameters
  • Motor Testing Dynamometer: Let Magtrol select/design a dynamometer best suited for your stepper motor application.
  • Custom Table: With T-grooved top and optional stepper wiring patch board
  • DSP6001 Dynamometer Controller: Controls loading of the stepper motor and also reads the torque the motor produces
  • SM-TEST Motor Testing Software: Based on Magtrol's state-of-the-art M-TEST 5.0 software, SM-TEST is designed specifically for the testing of stepper motors. Generated test data can be stored, displayed and printed in tabular or graphic formats, and can be easily imported into a spreadsheet.
  • AMF-1 Adjustable Motor Fixture: Securely holds motor in place while running any test
  • PC, 17" LCD flat screen monitor and keyboard
  • Optional Power Supply: Fully integrated with software
  • Optional Power Analyzer:
    6510e Single-Phase: measures electrical input power to the motor and drive for system efficiency calculation
    6530 Three-Phase: measures electrical input power to the motor only for motor efficiency calculation
Static Torque Characteristics
  • Holding Torque: Maximum static torque during excitation
  • Detent Torque: Holding torque without excitation
Dynamic Torque Characteristics
  • Pull-In Torque: Maximum frequency at which the motor can start instantaneously, with a load applied, without loss of synchronism
  • Pull-Out Torque: Maximum frequency at which the motor can operate without loss of synchronism
Angular Characteristics
  • Angle Torque: Torque produced at various angles of rotation
  • Step Response: The time it takes the motor shaft to rotate one step angle once the first step pulse is applied
