Have you ever wondered what the differences are between a stepper motor and a servo motor? Do you ever get frustrated with your stepper motor losing steps, but hesitate buying a servo motor because you think they are too expensive or complicated? With this video, learn the differences between servo motors and stepper motors when it comes to power, price, and performance.

In this video, Teknic compares the power, price, and performance advantages and disadvantages of both servos and steppers. The video then shows how the new, allinone ClearPath servo motors bridge the gap between cost and performance.

In this demonstration, you can also find general examples of applications where you would use a stepper or a servo. Teknic discusses how to properly compare steppers and servos and how to calculate power from a torquespeed curve.

Toward the end of the video, there is a demonstration of the differences in performance (speed, smoothness, accuracy, noise, etc.) between a stepper motor and a servo motor. There are also differences between tuning, noise resistance, setup, and more.
