Electric motors convert electrical energy into mechanical energy through shaft rotation. AC motors use alternating current to create rotating magnetic fields. DC motors use direct current to energize armature and create electromagnetic field
Output ranges from 0.12 to 37 kW with 2-8 poles. Available in IEC 63 to 200L frame sizes. Operates at 50 or 60 Hz with voltage up to 660V. Features IP55 protection and IC411 cooling method
Torque is the turning force through a radius, measured in Nm or lb ft. Motor torque varies during acceleration from zero to maximum speed
Radial flux motors have been standard for decades. Axial flux motors are becoming standard for AC performance. Transverse flux motors offer unique 3D magnetic flux flow
Motor frame provides structural support for internal parts. Key components include end brackets, stator frame, feet, and cooling fan cover. Frame holds all internal components and absorbs forces during operation
Horsepower measures engine power, originally created by Scottish engineer. Torque and engine speed are needed to calculate car horsepower. Formula: (RPM × T) / 5252 = HP. Example: Porsche with 480 torque at 2,500 RPM has 228.48 horsepower
