Selecting a Glentek Servo Motor to Replace a Stepper Motor

This section provides the specifications of various stepper motors so they can be compared to equivalent servo motors. This should help in clearing up some of the confusion involved in choosing a servo motor to replace a stepper.

Both Servo and Stepper motors have peak and continuous torque ratings. You will notice that the peak and continuous torque ratings are generally the same with the stepper motor. Whereas, in a servo motor, the peak torque rating is generally two or three times higher than the continuous torque rating.

To select a servo motor, the peak torque must be equal to or greater than the peak torque rating of the step motor. Since the horse power to weight ratio of a stepper motor is similar to that of a servo motor, you should start out by selecting a servo motor approximately the same weight as the stepper motor.

As a final system test, after selecting the Glentek servo motor replacement for your stepper motor, Glentek strongly recommends you to install the servo motor and exercise your machine at maximum axis duty cycle to make sure that the servo motor runs without over heating and the following error re- mains within desired specification.
