OSTI ID:5978362

A controller for an ShD-5 stepper motor is described that is distinguished by a pulse method of regulation of the phase-winding currents at an arbitrary level. Power consumption is reduced by a factor of 5 to 10 as compared with the traditional circuit. The main unit, the winding-current control channel, is suitable for operation with other types of stepper motors. A schematic diagram of the controller is given and the static efficiency of the control channel as a function of supply voltage for various winding currents is graphed.
