RE: Normal DC vs Stepper
It also really depends on the stepper system. Some of today's stepper drives are really amazing. With all of the micro-stepping technology and anti-resonance technology, steppers are doing amazing things that they could never do before. Check out IDC Motion's SmartStep & Impulse. Also check out Oriental's AlphaStep. Compumotor & others also have systems, but pry not as advanced as IDC & Oriental
