0.9 vs 1.8 degrees Stepper Motors

The document compares 0.9 and 1.8 degrees stepper motors used in 3D printers, highlighting differences in torque, speed, and power requirements. It notes that 0.9-degree motors can produce more torque at small lag angles but require higher voltage and faster pulse rates. Additionally, it mentions the use of interpolation modes in certain drivers to manage the limitations of high microstepping with 0.9-degree motors.

0.9 vs 1.8 degrees Stepper Motors

There are two common step angles: 0.9 and 1.8 degrees per full step, corresponding to 400 and
200 steps/revolution. Most 3D printers use 1.8 deg/step motors.
Aside from the obvious difference in step angle:
●​ 0.9deg motors have slightly lower holding torque than similar 1.8deg motors from the
same manufacturer
●​ However, to produce a given torque, the lag angle needed by a 0.9deg motor is slightly
more than half the lag angle of a similar 1.8deg motor. Or to put it another way, at small
lag angles a 0.9deg motor has nearly twice as much torque as a 1.8deg motor for the
same lag angle.
●​ At a given rotation speed, a 0.9deg motor produces twice as much inductive back emf as
a 1.8deg motor. So you generally need to use 24V power to achieve high speeds with
0.9deg motors.
●​ 0.9deg motors need step pulses to be delivered to the drivers at twice the rate of 1.8deg
motors. If you use high microstepping then the speed could be limited by the rate at
which the electronics can generate step pulses. The interpolation mode at 16x
microstepping of the TMC2660 drivers on the Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet can be used to
overcome this issue. The drivers on Duet 2 Maestro and Duet 3 can interpolate at any
microstepping setting.
