COMMON MOTORS USED IN INDUSTRIAL PLANTS AND THEIR


CHARACTERISTICS

TWO MAJOR CLASSIFICATION OF MOTORS:


AC Motors – works on alternating current and are very efficient. It contains a copper-wounded stator and rotor that
work on electromagnetism.

 Synchronous Motors – It controls the speed and accuracy which is primarily used in drilling
machines, timers, clocks, metering pumps, electromechanical robots.

 Induction Motors – Used in automobiles, water pumps, kitchen appliances, are conditioners and
fans.

 Linear Motors – Used in magnetic levitation tracks, ground-based rails, monorails and coasters.

 Adjustable Motors – Used in water cooler, electrical power plants, pumps, marine and land
machinery.

 Universal Motors – Used in Kitchen blenders, dryers, vacuum, High power Railway Traction
mechanics.
DC Motors – work only in direct current.

 Series Motors – Used in Air compressors, Vacuum cleaners, sewing machines and cranes.

 Shunt Motors – used for fans, lathe machine, conveyor belts, lift, spinning machines, weaving
machines and blowers.

 Compound Motors – Used in Elevators, rolling mills, heavy planners, presses, shears, and conveyors.

COMMON INDUSTRIAL MOTOR TYPES:


DC Motors - In a DC motor, the stator generates a magnetic field that is static, whereas the rotor creates a magnetic
field that is revolving. The magnetic field lines of the stator and rotor are parallel.
AC Synchronous Motors- As the names imply, the shaft rotation in this motor is synchronized with the frequency of
the input current. Based on the current frequency, the magnets in the stator generate an electromagnetic field that
rotates.
AC Induction Asynchronous Motor - An electric current is induced in the rotor by the electric current in the stator,
which also causes a revolving magnetic field. The magnetic field generated by the current in the rotor interacts with
the magnetic field in the stator to produce rotation in the rotor.
