Abstract
We describe the performance of a simple commercial stepper motor which can be used at low temperatures without any mechanical alterations. T he coils are rewound with copper clad niobium wire to minimize the hea t load on the refrigerator. We discuss the torque, power dissipation, and the construction of the motor. In addition, a simple method of mea suring the angular position of the motor is described.
