  2. Reluctance motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reluctance_motor

    A reluctance motor is a type of electric motor that induces non-permanent magnetic poles on the ferromagnetic rotor. The rotor does not have any windings. It generates torque through magnetic reluctance. Reluctance motor subtypes include synchronous, variable, switched and variable stepping. Reluctance motors can deliver high power density at ...

  3. Synchronous motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronous_motor

    Synchronous motor. Miniature synchronous motor used in analog clocks. The rotor is made of permanent magnet. Small synchronous motor with integral stepdown gear from a microwave oven. A synchronous electric motor is an AC electric motor in which, at steady state, [1] the rotation of the shaft is synchronized with the frequency of the supply ...

  4. Switched reluctance motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched_reluctance_motor

    Switched reluctance motor. Switched reluctance motor with magnetic flux lines. The switched reluctance motor (SRM) is a type of reluctance motor. Unlike brushed DC motors, power is delivered to windings in the stator (case) rather than the rotor. This simplifies mechanical design because power does not have to be delivered to the moving rotor ...

  5. Switched reluctance linear motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched_reluctance_linear...

    Difference between induction and reluctance force [1] Example of a switched reluctance linear motor . Switched reluctance linear motors (SRLMs) (also known as linear switched reluctance motors (LSRMs), variable reluctance linear motor or switched reluctance linear machines) are a type of electric machines called linear motors which work based on the principle of a varying magnetic reluctance ...

  6. Stepper motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepper_motor

    Brushed DC motors rotate continuously when DC voltage is applied to their terminals. The stepper motor is known for its property of converting a train of input pulses (typically square waves) into a precisely defined increment in the shaft’s rotational position. Each pulse rotates the shaft through a fixed angle.

  7. Permanent magnet synchronous generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permanent_magnet...

    A permanent magnet synchronous generator is a generator where the excitation field is provided by a permanent magnet instead of a coil. The term synchronous refers here to the fact that the rotor and magnetic field rotate with the same speed, because the magnetic field is generated through a shaft-mounted permanent magnet mechanism, and current is induced into the stationary armature.

  8. Variable reluctance sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_reluctance_sensor

    A variable reluctance sensor (commonly called a VR sensor) is a transducer that measures changes in magnetic reluctance. When combined with basic electronic circuitry, the sensor detects the change in presence or proximity of ferrous objects. With more complex circuitry and the addition of software and specific mechanical hardware, a VR sensor ...

  9. Timeline of the electric motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_electric_motor

    Serbian-American, engineer and inventor; having worked independently from Ferraris, presented a paper in May, 1888 to AIEE describing three patented two-phase four-stator-pole motor types: one with a four-pole rotor forming a non-self-starting reluctance motor, another with a wound rotor forming a self-starting induction motor, and the third a ...
