When the law of conservation of energy is applied to a solenoid actuated stepping motor, it becomes possible to derive an expression for the maximum stepping rate and to explain the phenomenon of skipping. If a sinusoidal electric input and a simple harmonic motion for the plunger are assumed as a mathematical model, the phenomenon of overspin can be explained as a consequence of resonance between the electric input and the plunger motion.
