HalteDrehmoments

HalteDrehmoments, which translates to "holding torque" in English, refers to the maximum torque a motor can withstand without rotating when it is energized but stationary. This is a fundamental parameter for stepper motors and some types of permanent magnet synchronous motors. It signifies the motor's ability to maintain its position against external forces.

The holding torque is typically specified in units of Newton-meters (Nm) or ounce-inches (oz-in). It is an important consideration in applications where a motor needs to hold a load steady, such as in robotics, automation, and positioning systems. The actual holding torque can be affected by factors like the motor's temperature, the voltage applied, and the current supplied to the windings.

When selecting a motor, the required holding torque must be greater than the expected load torque to ensure the motor can maintain its position. Exceeding the holding torque will cause the motor shaft to slip or move, potentially leading to errors in positioning or loss of control. Different motor designs and sizes will have varying holding torque capabilities, with larger and more powerful motors generally offering higher values. Manufacturers often provide specifications for holding torque under ideal conditions.
