White Paper: Comparing the Step Accuracy of Two-Phase vs. Five-Phase Step Motors.

Count stator and rotor teeth, not phases.

Before choosing between a two-phase or five-phase step motor, take a closer look at the application’s requirements and the motor’s capabilities. More is not always better, but more phases certainly cost more.
To compare these two mechanically different step motors, Lin Engineering ran both motors at a step resolution that provided a microstep equivalent of 0.018 degree. For a two-phase, 0.9-degree motor, this meant driving at 50 microsteps and for a five-phase, 0.72-degree motor it required 40 microsteps. Surprisingly, the two-phase motor produced four to five times less step error than the five-phase motor.

Get Exactly What You Need

In motion control, no two designs are the same. When you’re optimizing for the best efficiency, accuracy, or speed, you don’t want a motor that is “close enough”, you want a motor that will meets your requirements precisely. This is exactly what we can provide: a motor with the exact specifications you need for your specific design or application.
