Squirrel Cage Induction Motor

StarStarStarStar

A type of induction motor with a cage-like rotor, requiring no brushes. It's robust and requires low maintenance, ideal for industrial fans, blowers, and pumps.

StarStarStarStar

Synchronous Motor

StarStarStarStar

Operates at a constant speed irrespective of the load. The rotor speed is synchronized with the frequency of the supply current. Suitable for applications where constant speed is necessary, such as clocks and record players.

StarStarStarStar

Servo Motor

StarStarStarStar

Provides precise control of angular position, velocity, and acceleration. Commonly used in robotics, conveyor belts, and camera auto focus systems.

StarStarStarStar

Permanent Magnet DC Motor

StarStarStarStar

Utilizes permanent magnets on the rotor and operates with direct current. Known for its simplicity and ease of control, it’s used in battery-powered electric vehicles and toys.

StarStarStarStar

Universal Motor

StarStarStarStar

A type of electric motor that can operate on either AC or DC power supply. It’s extensively used in portable power tools and domestic appliances like blenders and vacuum cleaners.

StarStarStarStar

Hysteresis Motor

StarStarStarStar

Operates using hysteresis losses in the rotor to produce torque. It has a smooth and vibration-free operation, perfect for applications like electric clocks and recording instruments.

StarStarStarStar

Brushless DC Motor

StarStarStarStar

A synchronous motor powered by DC electricity via an integrated inverter which produces an AC electric signal to drive the motor. Utilized in applications requiring high reliability like computer hard drives and electric vehicles.

StarStarStarStar

Split-phase Motor

StarStarStarStar

An AC motor with a start winding and a main winding that create differing phase angles, aiding in motor startup. Often used in washing machines and air compressors.

StarStarStarStar

Induction Motor

StarStarStarStar

Operates on electromagnetic induction principle where a rotating magnetic field causes the rotor to spin. Common in industrial applications such as pumps and conveyor systems.

StarStarStarStar

Stepper Motor

StarStarStarStar

A brushless DC electric motor that divides a full rotation into a number of equal steps. Perfect for precision control found in 3D printers and CNC machines.
