Stepper Motor Calculator

Calculate resolution and pulse count from motor, microstepping and transmission data.

CALCULATOR

Enter values

USAGE

How to use it

  1. Set step angle and microstep ratio.
  2. Choose direct, lead screw or belt mechanics.
  3. Enter a target distance for required pulse count.

FORMULA

Calculation

Full steps/rev = 360/step angle; pulses/mm = microsteps/rev ÷ travel/rev

Example

1.8° at 16× microstepping = 3200 pulses/rev

TECHNICAL

Technical notes

  • Actual accuracy is affected by backlash, compliance and missed steps.
