Watch a side by side comparison of a stepper motor (microstepping) versus an integrated ClearPath brushless servo motor.

Have you ever wondered what the differences are between a stepper motor and a servo motor? Do you ever get frustrated with your stepper motor losing steps, but hesitate buying a servo motor because you think they are too expensive or complicated? This video explains the difference in overall power, power density, throughput, step loss, stalling and cost.

In this demonstration, you can also find general examples of applications where you would use a stepper or a servo. Teknic discusses how to properly compare steppers and servos and how to calculate power from a torquespeed curve.

Toward the end of the video, there is a demonstration of the differences in performance (speed, smoothness, accuracy, noise, etc.) between a stepper motor and a servo motor. There are also differences between tuning, noise resistance, setup, and more.
