Hybrid Stepper Motor Basics

The video tutorial explains the workings of hybrid stepper motors, focusing on their combination of permanent magnet and variable reluctance designs. It covers the basic operation of a simplified model with four coils and a magnetized rotor, detailing how magnetic fields interact to cause rotation. The tutorial then explores a more complex hybrid stepper motor with increased precision, highlighting the role of coil energization and teeth alignment in achieving high precision and torque.
