A stepper motor loses steps when

  • A.the load torque exceeds what it can develop at that stepping rate
  • B.its holding torque comfortably exceeds the load torque applied to it
  • C.it is operated below its resonant stepping frequency
  • D.its windings are energised in the correct sequence

Answer: A

Correct answer: the load torque exceeds what it can develop at that stepping rate

A stepper’s available torque falls as the stepping rate rises, because the winding inductance limits how fast the current can be established. If the demand exceeds what is available the rotor fails to follow and steps are lost - and since the machine is running open loop, nothing detects or corrects the error.
