Choosing Between Standard AC
Motors and Stepping Motors
 Selection Considerations
There are differences in characteristics between standard AC
motors and stepping motors. Shown below are some of the
points you should know when sizing a motor.
Technical Reference
 Check the Acceleration/Deceleration Rate
Most controllers, when set for acceleration or
deceleration, adjust the pulse speed in steps. For that
reason, operation may sometimes not be possible, even
though it can be calculated.
Calculate the acceleration/deceleration rate from the
following equation and check that the value is at or above
