Correct Answer - Option 3 : 1.8°
Concept:
A hybrid stepper motor is a combination of variable reluctance and permanent magnet-type motors. The rotor of a hybrid stepper motor is axially magnetized like a permanent magnet stepper motor, and the stator is electromagnetically energized like a variable reluctance stepper motor
The step angle of the stepper motor is defined as the angle traversed by the motor in one step.
Step angle of the hybrid stepper motor is given by
\(\beta =\frac{{N_r -N_s}}{{N_s\times N_r}}\times 360^\circ \)
Where Ns = Number of stator teeth
Nr = Number of rotor teeth
Calculation:
Given that, Nr = 50
Ns = 8 x 5 = 40
∴ stepping angle can be calculated as
\(\beta =\frac{{50 -40}}{{50\times 40}}\times 360^\circ \)
β = 1.8°
