Hi there
I'm working on a project for my university degree, which requires a motor that is capable of precise control of position (or torque), but can also be spun manually with minimum disturbance to rotation. I'm very new to electrical engineering, so don't know much about my options, but from what I've read a variable reluctance stepper motor will give me what I need, as is has no detent torque when unpowered. The problem is, I cant seem to source any of this type of motor, only hybrid motors with permanent magnet rotors. I was wondering if anyone had an idea where I could buy a reluctance stepper motor?
Many Thanks
