- a stepper drive motor in the prior art has at least the dis ⁇ advantage that a connector of a stator of the linear stepper drive motor that is intended to connect to a drive is assembled relatively complexly in prior art. In addition, the sealing performance of the connector is not good, and the reliability is poor in harsh environments.
- a particular embodiment of a stepper drive motor as claimed in the present device is shown in figures 1 and 2.

- the stator has the pole pieces 31, the winding bobbin 32, the stator housing 33 and the connector 34.
- the pole pieces 31 and the stator housing 33 are connected so as to form a magnetic circuit.
- the stator may have two pole pieces; however, it should be understood that the stator may have another number of pole pieces, without departing from the scope of the present device.

- the rotor 5 may be, for example, a permanent magnet rotor.
- the rotor 5 may interact with a stator magnetic field, the magnetic field is generated by the stator under the effect of an input signal, and the rotor 5 is rotated under the action of the magnetic field.
- the magnet of the rotor 5 is generally positioned inside the stator, and the rotor 5 is arranged within the stator by means of the bearing 4. For example, when the two copper coils are energized, the rotor is locked in a balanced position under the action of the magnetic force. When the current direction of one of the copper coils is changed, the stator magnetic field will be rotated by, for example, 15 degrees, and the rotor will consequently rotate by 15 degrees under the action of the magnetic force. If the currents passing through the two copper coils change as claimed in a certain rule, the rotor will perform a regular motion (e.g. rotating in a forward or reverse direction) following the change in the stator magnetic field.
- a regular motion e
- the shaft 8 extends through the interior of the rotor 5 and a thread on the shaft 8 is engaged with a thread of the rotor 5, so that the rotational movement of the rotor 5 is transformed into a movement of the shaft, such as a linear movement.

- a cross section of the guiding portion of the shaft 8 may be of a D shape (single flat face or double flat faces) , a central hole of the respective front cover 9 is correspondingly shaped, and due to the flat structure, the rotational movement of the shaft 8 is limited such that only linear movement is allowed.

- An inner ring of the bearing 4 may be ultrasonically welded to the rotor by means of the bearing sleeve 11 so as to rotate with the rotor, and an outer ring of the bearing 4 is fixedly connected to the flange 7.
- the front cover 9 and the stator housing 33 may apply an axial pressure to the outer ring of the bearing 4 to further position the bearing 4.

- the stepper drive motor of the present device may have another number of bearings, such as a large and a small bearing which are respectively arranged at the two ends of the rotor, without departing from the scope of the present device.
- a wave spring for example, may be arranged to pre-load the large bearing and the small bearing, on one hand improving the transmission quality of the large bearing and the small bearing, and on the other hand eliminating an axial clearance between the large bearing and the small bearing, thereby ensuring that the rotor cannot move axially and improving the accuracy of the linear motion of the shaft.
