A motor is an electrically powered device that converts mechanical energy. Motors come in a variety of shapes and sizes.

DC MOTOR :

The motor is very popular. The starting costs are often lower per unit than ac systems, but faster speeds can be managed by altering the power supply voltage.

 Electric cars, elevators, and hoists all use this motor application.

  • Over a wide variety of speeds, you can control them.
  • Quick acceleration, stopping, reversing, and starting.
  • High Torque at Start-Up
  • The speed-torque curve is linear.
  • Installation is simple.

BRUSHLESS MOTOR:

Different types of motors

However, you may be wondering what a brushless motor is.

It is simply referred to as a BLDC motor, which stands for brushless dc motor. It has a high efficiency and controllability, and it is widely employed in a variety of applications.

In comparison to other motor types, it saves energy.

APPLICATION:

  • Fans.

  • Vacuum cleaners
  • Machines for washing clothes.
  • Other consumer electronics, such as air conditioners

BRUSHED:

  • It is a classic motor.
  • These motors are utilised in industrial equipment and can be divided down into the following categories:
  • Permanent magnets are employed in servo systems and robotics where accurate low torque and control are required.
  • Because it has a high beginning torque, it is employed in autos, hoists, lifts, and cranes.
  • Lathes, vacuum cleaners, conveyors, and grinders are all examples of Shunt Wound applications.
  • Compound Wound Compressors, circular saws, variable-head centrifugal pumps, rotary presses, shearing machines, elevators, and continuous conveyors are all driven by compound wound.

AC MOTOR :

This motor is more flexible than DC motors, with speed control (vsd- variable speed drives) and a significantly bigger installed base.

Advantage :

  • Torque restriction that can be adjusted

  • Low usage of electricity
  • Acceleration that can be controlled
  • Operational speed can be changed
  • Starting current that can be controlled
  • Disturbances on electricity lines are reduced.

Types Of AC Motor Include :

Asynchronous:

  • It uses electromagnetic induction from the stator winding’s magnetic field to generate an electric current in the rotor, and therefore torque.
  • These are the most prevalent form of AC motor and are significant in industry because of their load capacity. 1-Phase induction motors are used mostly for low loads, such as in household appliances, whereas 3-Phase induction motors are utilised more in industrial applications.

APPLICATION:

  • Compressor. 
  • Pumps.
  • Conveyor systems and 
  • Lifting gear.

Synchronous:

Different types of motors

Induction and synchronous motors are the two most prevalent types of three-phase motors. An electrical field is created when three-phase electric conductors are positioned in specific geometrical configurations.
APPLICATION:
  • Robots
  • Instrumentation
  • Machine
  • Process control

Servo Motor :

Different types of motors.

  • It employs both rotary and linear actuators.
  • It is utilised in situations that require a lot of power.
  • It is the robotics’ backbone.

APPLICATION:
  • Elevators.
  • Rudders.
  • Walking a robot.

Stepper Motor :

Different types of motors

  • It has an internal rotor that is controlled by an external magnet.
  • Permanent magnets or a soft metal can be used to make it.
  • It is used to advance from one location to another in predetermined intervals.

   APPLICATION:
  • Hard disk drives.
  • Robotics.
  • Antennas. 
  • Telescopes.
  • and some toy.
