## Errors between steps (micro-stepping) {#errors-between-steps--micro-stepping}
|
|
|
|
For a two phase stepper motor, there are (typically) **200 steps per revolution** (i.e. 1.8% per step).
|
|
|
|
Between each step, even when using some micro-stepping, there are some position errors that are due to non-perfect magnetic and electromagnetic fields.
|
|
|
|
The period of this error is corresponding to 200 period/revolution.
|
|
|
|
Then scanning, this can lead to high frequency vibrations.
|
|
|
|
This is what is typically limiting the accuracy of the stepper motor (usually specified in between 3% and 5% of the step increment).
|
|
This is approximately corresponding to **1mrad**.

Consider a stepper motor with 200 steps by turn attached to a ball-screw with a pitch of 1mm per turn.
|
|
A rotation of 1 turn per second will induce vibrations at 200Hz with an amplitude of \\(1\\,\mu m\\).
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
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.
