+A stepper motor has a position error with a period equal to a full turn.

Note that this error is not a pure sine, it also has some harmonics with corresponding periods of 1/100 revolution and 1/50 revolution.
-This error should repeat every turn and can be calibrated provided it is repeatable over time.

One way to reduce these errors is to use a ball-screw mechanism with a smaller pitch.
The price to pay is smaller velocity.
+### Load Dependent Error {#load-dependent-error}
+
+If the electromagnetic torque would be the only torque acting on the system, the electrical angle generated by the control system would correspond directly to the reference angle.
+
+The position error is to a large degree due to the so called load angle when the motor is positioned by an open-loop controller.
+The load angle results from applying an external torque to the stepper motor, **causing the magnetic rotor to be out of phase with the electrical field**.
+
+The most common way to limit these errors is to always operate the motor with its rated winding currents.
+This results in significant energy losses and heating of the motor which deprive the motor of its efficiency.
+
+Another option is to use a position sensor such as an encoder with a feedback controller.
