Stepper Motors often exhibit vibration and noise during low-speed operation, which is a common issue due to their inherent characteristics. Many users wonder if this is normal and how to address it. Mild vibration at low speeds is normal for stepper motors, but excessive vibration and noise are not. Here are some methods to investigate and resolve these issues.

Summary Of Troubleshooting Methods:

• Use a Driver with Microstepping Capability

         This is the most common and simplest method to reduce vibration and noise.

• Check the Motor Installation Environment

          Ensure it is not in a resonance zone. Increasing the speed by using a gearbox can help.

• Use a Stepper Motor Driver with Microstepping

         Adjust the microstepping of the driver to reduce vibration. This is a relatively simple solution.

• Adjust the Step Angle of the Stepper Motor

         Consider using a stepper motor with a smaller step angle, such as switching from a two-phase motor to a three-phase or five-             phase motor.

• Consider Upgrading to a Servo Motor

         Servo motors offer better performance and can resolve noise and vibration issues, but at a higher cost.

• Use a Specialized Magnetic Damper

         Adding a specialized magnetic damper to the motor shaft can reduce noise and vibration, although this may require significant           changes to the mechanical structure.

These methods can help mitigate vibration and noise in stepper motors during low-speed operation.
