Stepper Motor Calculator

• Current (A) – The electrical current supplied to the motor
• Inductance (mH) – The motor’s coil inductance, which affects response time
• Voltage (V) – The supplied voltage, which influences motor speed
• Steps per Revolution – The number of steps needed for a full 360° rotation

Based on these inputs, the calculator provides the following critical output values: 

• Maximum Speed (Revolutions per Second) – The fastest achievable speed based on electrical constraints
• Minimum Time per Step (ms) – The shortest possible time for each motor step
• Maximum Power (W) – The peak power consumption of the stepper motor

A stepper motor is a type of synchronous motor designed for precise, incremental movement, making it ideal for applications like robotics, CNC machines, and 3D printers. Unlike a standard DC motor or brushless electric motor, a stepper machine moves in controlled steps, providing accuracy without the need for feedback systems like those found in a servo motor, making it ideal for areas like lasers and optics where precision positioning is of the utmost importance.  

Our stepper motor calculator is the perfect tool to ensure optimal performance, efficiency, and reliability. Whether you’re designing a custom automation system or troubleshooting an existing setup, our calculator helps you achieve the perfect balance between speed, torque, and power consumption.
