German term

drehwinkelgesteuertes Motor

German to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering Patent for paper feed device
This phrase appears in a patent for a paper feed and cutting device:

Die Motoren M1...6 sind als drehwinkelgesteuerte Motoren ausgebildet, die mit entsprechenden Antriebsreglern A1…6 verbunden sind.

I can't find an exact translation for drehwinkelgesteuerte Motoren. Does anyone know what's meant here?

Many thanks,

Claire

@ Claire For your convenience, I added some links for angle-controlled motors from US or UK. Please consider the last link, where a rotation-angle controlled motor is distinguished from a linear motor. This is what I focus, rotational or linear motion, both triggered by stepping.
Claire Cox (asker) Jun 12, 2012:
Stepper motors Hi Johannes, I was concerned that your Linguee references related solely to German websites and therefore might not be entirely reliable. I also found the following for stepper motors: A stepper motor is actually built to move angular positions based upon each possible step around the entire rotation, and may include microsteps with a resolution such as 256 microsteps per step of the stepper motor.
Johannes Gleim Jun 12, 2012:
@ Claire Linear motors are also stepper motor, but there is no rotational angle as explained in the German Wikipedia article cited in my answer. Therefore the angle should be addressed in order not to confuse with other motor types.

synchron-motor or stepping-motor

As Kim said "Drehwinkel" is refering to angle of rotation, the German text "drehwinkelgesteuerte" is used as an adjective, and the correct name in German for a "drehwinkelgesteuertes Motor" would be Schrittmotor or Stepper Motor. The English translation is suggested above. See link.

To restate this process again clearly: less experienced customers frequently request an angle-controlled process without fulfilling the necessary prerequisites, such as using a screw with sufficient tension.

A stepper motor (or step motor) is a brushless DC electric motor that divides a full rotation into a number of equal steps. The motor's position can then be commanded to move and hold at one of these steps without any feedback sensor (an open-loop controller), as long as the motor is carefully sized to the application.
:
Each of those slight rotations is called a "step", with an integer number of steps making a full rotation. In that way, the motor can be turned by a precise angle.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepper_motor

Ein Schrittmotor ist ein Synchronmotor, bei dem der Rotor (drehbares Motorteil mit Welle) durch ein gesteuertes schrittweise rotierendes elektromagnetisches Feld der Statorspulen (nicht drehbarer Motorteil) um einen minimalen Winkel (Schritt) oder sein Vielfaches gedreht werden kann. Schrittmotoren existieren auch in Form von Linearmotoren.
:
Aufgrund der hohen Polpaarzahl bewegt sich der Rotor eines Schrittmotors mit jedem von außen vorgegebenen Schritt nur mit einem geringen Winkelversatz vorwärts. Üblich sind 24 bis 200 Schritte pro Umdrehung. Eine Polpaarzahl von 50 ergibt im Vollschrittbetrieb 100 Schritte je Umdrehung, also 3,6° Vollschrittwinkel. Durch Mikroschrittbetrieb ist ein Auflösungsvermögen von unter 0,1 Grad erreichbar. Die Schrittgenauigkeit liegt meist im Bereich von einigen Prozent.
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schrittmotor

As you will see from a.m. Wikipedia articles in English and German, both terms "angle" (Winkel) and "step" (Schritt) are used for these motors. Each term has its proper meaning, which cannot be used instead of the other. "Winkelgesteuert" (angle-controlled) is different from "Schrittgesteuert" (step-controlled).

The difference is in the application. You have to output several pulses for stepping to the desired angle.

Sorry, but you did not substantiate your comment. And you contradicts Kim's reference.

I translate "drehwinkelgesteuert", instead of "schrittgesteuert". As electrical engineer I have to distinguish.

Info

I'd say Drehwinkel is angle of rotation.

A paper feeding apparatus in a printer, wherein a sheet of paper placed on a rotary support member is fed by a predetermined distance through a corresponding angle of rotation of a drive motor which is energized by a drive circuit under control of a control device which applies a control signal to the drive circuit to give a predetermined angle of rotation to the drive motor and thereby effect a paper feeding cycle each time the control signal is applied.
