Servo motors are rotary or linear actuators that allow precise control of angular velocity or linear position, velocity, and acceleration.

A stepper motor is a type of brushless DC motor that divides one complete rotation into multiple equal steps.

The magnetic contactor is primarily used to switch power in resistance heating elements, lighting, magnetic brakes, and heavy industrial solenoids.

In general, motors are very reliable machines that require little maintenance. But while a typical electric motor might be a low-maintenance item, it still requires regular maintenance if it is…

Knowledge of proper installation techniques is vital to the effective operation of a motor. The following are some of the important motor installation procedures that need to be considered.

AC and DC motors come in many shapes and sizes. Some are standardized electric motors for general-purpose applications

A variable-frequency drive (VFD) system, also known as a variable-speed drive system, generally consists of an AC motor, a controller, and an operator interface

The single-phase induction motor operates on the principle of induction, just as does a three-phase motor.

The main difference between AC and DC motors is that the magnetic field generated by the stator rotates in the case of AC motors. A rotating magnetic field is key…

Direct current motors (DC motor) are not used as much as alternating-current (AC) types because all electric utility systems deliver alternating current. For special applications, however, it is advantageous to…
