  2. Electric motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_motor

    An industrial electric motor . An electric motor is a machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and electric current in a wire winding to generate force in the form of torque applied on the motor's shaft.

  3. Electrostatic motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatic_motor

    An electrostatic motor or capacitor motor is a type of electric motor based on the attraction and repulsion of electric charge. An alternative type of electrostatic motor is the spacecraft electrostatic ion drive thruster where forces and motion are created by electrostatically accelerating ions.

  4. Brushless DC electric motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brushless_DC_electric_motor

    A brushless DC electric motor (BLDC), also known as an electronically commutated motor, is a synchronous motor using a direct current (DC) electric power supply. It uses an electronic controller to switch DC currents to the motor windings producing magnetic fields that effectively rotate in space and which the permanent magnet rotor follows.

  5. Universal motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_motor

    The universal motor is a type of electric motor that can operate on either AC or DC power and uses an electromagnet as its stator to create its magnetic field. [1] It is a commutated series-wound motor where the stator's field coils are connected in series with the rotor windings through a commutator. It is often referred to as an AC series motor.

  6. Stepper motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepper_motor

    A stepper motor, also known as step motor or stepping motor, [1] is a brushless DC electric motor that rotates in a series of small and discrete angular steps. [2] Stepper motors can be set to any given step position without needing a position sensor for feedback. The step position can be rapidly increased or decreased to create continuous ...

  7. Traction motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traction_motor

    A ZQDR-410 traction motor (the large, dark component on the axle with small ventilation holes) A traction motor is an electric motor used for propulsion of a vehicle, such as locomotives, electric or hydrogen vehicles, or electric multiple unit trains.
