About Stepper Speed Calculator (Formula)
The Stepper Speed Calculator calculates the speed of a stepper motor in RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) based on the given step angle in degrees and pulse frequency in Hertz (Hz) using the following formula:
RPM=a/360∗pf∗60
Where:
- Stepper Speed (RPM) is the speed of the stepper motor in revolutions per minute.
- Step Angle (degrees) is the angle by which the stepper motor rotates with each step.
- Pulse Frequency (Hz) is the frequency at which pulses are sent to the stepper motor to make it step.
The formula calculates the number of revolutions the stepper motor can make in one minute based on the given step angle and pulse frequency. The step angle represents how many degrees the motor turns with each step, and the pulse frequency indicates how many pulses are sent to the motor per second. By multiplying these values and converting the result to RPM (by multiplying by 60), you can determine the speed at which the stepper motor is rotating.
