CNC Motors

CNC motors are the heart of any CNC machine. The size and type of motor can define a CNC routers precision, speed, and accuracy. There are two primary classes of motors used on CNC machines, stepper motors and servo motors. Within these two classes there are several types.

Stepper motors and servo motors both have their advantages and disadvantages which will be discussed in greater detail in later sections. The following sections will attempt to cover all aspects of the types of motors associated with CNC routers and other types of CNC machines. This section goes hand in hand with the CNC controller and Drive Components sections.

This section covers the advantages and disadvantages of each motor type.
