What are the differences between different types of micro DC motors?
A characteristic of micro DC motors is that they can automatically reduce speed according to the load size to achieve maximum starting torque. This makes it more difficult to communicate with the motor. In addition, DC motors are relatively easy to absorb sudden changes in load size, and the motor speed can automatically adapt to the load size. So what are the differences between different types of micro DC motors?
Among various electric products, micro motors are the main source of power, and different types of products are applied to different types of DC motors, such as reduction motors, vibration motors, stepper motors, servo motors, brushed motors, brushless motors, and so on.
A micro DC motor is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy based on the law of electromagnetic induction. Its main function is to generate driving torque, which serves as a mechanical power source. Electric toys, razors, and other items used in daily life are all ordinary micro DC motors. Generally, two pins are connected to the positive and negative terminals of a battery to rotate. Micro DC motors have the characteristics of fast speed and low torque.
For products that require high torque, ordinary micro motors cannot achieve it. Therefore, it is necessary to add a gear reducer, which will reduce the output speed, increase the output torque, and change the position of the output shaft, such as upward or backward output. Electronic locks, ATM machines, 3D printing pens, intelligent robots, and power tools all require large torque outputs and use deceleration motors.
A micro vibration motor is a combination of a DC motor and an eccentric block. An irregularly shaped eccentric block is installed on the output shaft of the micro motor. When the micro motor rotates at high speed, it will continuously lose balance due to the eccentric block, and then produce vibration. The faster the speed of the micro motor, the higher the vibration frequency. Micro vibration motors are used to generate vibrations in household massage machines, beauty devices, adult products, toys, mobile phones, and more.
A stepper motor can convert electrical pulse signals into angular displacement or linear displacement. The speed and stop position of a DC motor depend on the frequency and number of pulses of the pulse signal, and are not affected by load changes. When the driver receives the pulse signal, the stepper motor will rotate a fixed angle (step angle) according to the set direction, and its rotation will run step by step according to the fixed angle.
A servo motor is an actuator in a control system that converts the received electrical signal into angular displacement or angular velocity output on the DC motor shaft. It can be a DC motor or an AC motor. Only general industrial machinery and equipment are used.
The above are the differences between different types of micro DC motors, hoping to be helpful to you. In addition, this type of motor only has two leads, and the speed can be adjusted by adjusting the supply voltage or current. By changing the polarity of the two leads, the motor can be reversed. The driving circuit is controlled by a microcontroller and generally requires the ability to perform forward and reverse rotation and speed regulation, and the volume should not be too large.
