How Stepper Motors Work Stepper motors consist of a permanent magnet rota ng sha ‚ called the rotor‚ and electromagnets on the sta onary por on that surrounds the motor‚ called the stator. Figure 1 illustrates one complete rota on of a stepper motor. At posi on 1‚ we can see that the rotor is beginning at the upper electromagnet‚ which is currently ac ve (has voltage applied to it). To move the rotor clockwise (CW)‚ the upper electromagnet is deac vated and the right electromagnet is ac vated‚ causing
