sir, i m interesting in motor design,

stepper motor have a high holding torque... can we design a DC brush motor having the same holding torque which have a stepper motor..

thank u sir.

A conventional DC motor is designed to rotate continuously. The motor has a maximum torque at stall, but that is not the same as a stepper motor's holding torque - the DC motor wants to turn from the held position and the stepper wants to hold it's position.

Full servo systems using DC motors have as much holding torque as they have rotating torque. The velocity loop, coupled with the position loop, provides current to cause the motor to resist any rotation, unless commanded to do so. Typical DC servo loops actually induce an amount of AC to the motor in order to keep it "limber" and ready to respond to any instantaneous commanded move. This AC is usually produced by introducing a small amount of cross-firing of the SCRs .

Yes, or maybe I'm just getting too literal in interpreting questions.
You did cover your backside in your first response when you said, "Conventional motors........." However, almost any motor, other than induction motors, with the right support behind it can fill the bill.
