Loading Characteristic and Optimum Switching Conditions of Multistack Variable Reluctance Type Stepping Motors

This paper deals with the relationship between the angular positional error of the rotor of a multistack variable reluctance type stepping motor and the average motor torque at various operating speeds. The relationships have been established theoretically using a linear model and experimentally using a lag measuring circuit over the slewing range of stepping rates. With the help of this approach the dynamic performance of this type of steppers has been studied and its limits defined.
