Electric motors may be rotary or linear. They operate by magnetic repulsion, with the exception piezoelectric units. They...
A DC motor is powered by direct current. It comprises a stator, either DC-fed windings or permanent magnets (low power),...
An asynchronous motor has a lower rotational speed than the stator field which drives it. It runs on alternating current...
Brushless motors, sometimes called synchronous motors, have a wound stator fed by direct or alternating current and a rotor...
A stepper motor is an electromagnetic device whose rotation is divided into increments, or steps. The three types are permanent...
A brushless DC motor runs on direct current and does not use brushes to energize the rotor, which has permanent magnets....
A three-phase motor is an AC motor with a stator featuring three coils and one or several poles. Asynchronous versions are...
A hydraulic motor transforms hydrostatic power into mechanical power. It offers a high power-to-weight ratio and high starting...
A worm gear motor combines a motor and a worm gear (also called worm and wheel). It usually has a right-angle configuration...
