How does an AC induction motor work? Here’s a little animation to summarize things and hopefully make it all clear: Two pairs of electromagnet coils, shown here in red and blue, are energized in turn by an AC supply (not
Read moreUnlike toys and flashlights, most homes, offices, factories, and other buildings aren’t powered by little batteries: they’re not supplied with DC current, but with alternating current (AC), which reverses its direction about 50 times per second (with a frequency of
Read moreHow do they work? If you study the basics of electricity, you know that electricity and magnetism are, for the purposes of physics, united into one force called the electromagnetic force. An electric motor is a device that utilizes this
Read moreTo choose a motor is the hardest task, based on design criteria such as cost, torque, acceleration, positional accuracy, power and much more. There are many types of motors like DC, Servo, and Stepper available for different types of application. But, Servo

Read moreAn electric motor is capable of transforming electric current into mechanical movement. They are used everywhere, from home to industries and factories. Some electric motors are preferred in certain areas than others for multiple factors. Everyone of them has multiple
Read moreElectric motors Flick a switch and get instant power—how our ancestors would have loved electric motors! You can find them in everything from electric trains to remote-controlled cars—and you might be surprised how common they are. How many electric motors
Read moreElectric motors are everywhere! In your house, almost every mechanical movement that you see around you is caused by an AC (alternating current) or DC (direct current) electric motor. In this article we’ll look at both types. By understanding how
