Motor classification

Motors can be classified in various ways, mainly including the following:

Divided by the type of working power supply:

DC motor

AC machine

Divided by structure and working principle:

DC motor

asynchronous motor

synchronous motor

Divided by purpose:

drive motor

Control motor

Divided by operating speed:

high speed motor

low speed motor

constant speed motor

Variable speed motor

Other classification methods:

stepping motor

servo motor

Special purpose motors such as linear motors, ultrasonic motors, etc

Each classification method has its specific application scenarios and advantages. For example, DC motors are commonly used in applications that require high precision and speed regulation performance, while AC motors are widely used in various industrial and civilian equipment due to their simple structure and low manufacturing difficulty. Stepper motors and servo motors are widely used in automation control systems and precision positioning applications.

It is recommended to consider the above classification methods comprehensively based on specific application requirements and performance indicators when selecting motors, in order to choose the most suitable motor type.
