What are the main uses of motors?

1. Servo motor

Servo motors are widely used in various control systems, which can convert the input voltage signal into mechanical output on the motor shaft, drag the controlled components, and achieve control objectives.

Servo motors can be divided into DC and AC, and the earliest servo motors were ordinary DC motors. In the case of low control accuracy, ordinary DC motors were used as servo motors. Structurally speaking, a DC servo motor is a low-power DC motor, with its excitation mostly controlled by armature and magnetic field, but usually controlled by armature.

2. Stepper motor

Stepper motors are mainly used in the field of CNC machine tool manufacturing. As they do not require A/D conversion and can directly convert digital pulse signals into angular displacement, they have always been considered the most ideal execution component for CNC machine tools.

In addition to its application in CNC machine tools, stepper motors can also be used in other machinery, such as as as motors in automatic feeding machines, as motors for general floppy disk drives, and in printers and plotters.

3. Torque motor

Torque motors have the characteristics of low speed and high torque. AC torque motors are commonly used in the textile industry, and their working principle and structure are the same as single-phase asynchronous motors.

4. Switched reluctance motor

Switched reluctance motor is a new type of speed control motor with an extremely simple and sturdy structure, low cost, and excellent speed control performance. It is a strong competitor to traditional control motors and has strong market potential.

5. Brushless DC motor

The mechanical and regulating characteristics of brushless DC motors have good linearity, wide speed range, long service life, convenient maintenance, low noise, and no series of problems caused by brushes. Therefore, this type of motor has great application in control systems.

6. DC motor

DC motors have the advantages of good speed regulation performance, easy starting, and the ability to start with load, so their application is still very widespread, especially after the emergence of thyristor DC power supply.

7. Asynchronous motor

Asynchronous motors have the advantages of simple structure, convenient manufacturing, use, and maintenance, reliable operation, small quality, and low cost. Asynchronous motors are mainly widely used to drive machine tools, water pumps, blowers, compressors, lifting and hoisting equipment, mining machinery, light industrial machinery, agricultural and sideline product processing machinery, and most industrial and agricultural production machinery, as well as household appliances and medical equipment.

It is widely used in household appliances, such as fans, refrigerators, air conditioners, vacuum cleaners, etc.

8. Synchronous motor

Synchronous motors are mainly used for large machinery, such as blowers, water pumps, ball mills, compressors, rolling mills, and small and micro instrument equipment or as control components. The three-phase synchronous motor is its main body. In addition, it can also be used as a condenser to transmit inductive or capacitive reactive power to the power grid.
