Introduction to

Motors
Motors are essential components in many modern devices. They
convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, enabling movement
and power.
Types of Motors
1 DC Motors
DC motors run on direct current electricity. They are commonly used in
applications requiring precise speed control, such as robotics and
electric vehicles.

2 AC Motors
AC motors operate on alternating current electricity. They are widely
used in industrial settings for their robustness and high power output.

3 Stepper Motors
Stepper motors provide precise and controlled rotational movement,
making them ideal for applications requiring precise positioning, such
as 3D printers.

wear and tear. They are often used in high-performance applications.
AC Motors
Induction Motors
Induction motors are the most common type of AC motor. They operate based
on the principle of electromagnetic induction and are known for their simplicity
and ruggedness.

Synchronous Motors
Synchronous motors operate at a fixed speed synchronized with the frequency
of the AC supply. They are often used in applications requiring precise speed
control.

Specialty AC Motors
Specialty AC motors include linear motors, which convert linear motion, and
servomotors, which provide precise control over speed and position.

Parts of a Motor

Rotor
The rotating part of the motor. It's typically made of metal and contains windings that interact
with the magnetic field created by the stator.

Stator
The stationary part of the motor. It contains windings that create the magnetic field that
interacts with the rotor.

Commutator
A device used in DC motors to switch the current direction in the rotor windings, ensuring
continuous rotation.

Material Function

Core Provides a path for the magnetic field to flow through.

creating the magnetic field.

Housing Protects the internal components and provides structural


support.
Commutator
1 Step 1
Commutator is a segmented ring attached to the rotor.

2 Step 2
Brushes make contact with the segments, switching
the current direction in the rotor windings.

3 Step 3
This switching ensures continuous rotation in DC
motors.
Functions of Motor Parts
1 Rotor
The rotor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy
through interaction with the stator's magnetic field.

2 Stator
The stator creates the magnetic field that interacts with the rotor,
causing it to rotate.

3 Commutator
The commutator switches the current direction in the rotor
windings, ensuring continuous rotation in DC motors.
