Results for tag: "Universal Motor"

A universal motor is a type of electric motor that can run on either AC or DC power. It is a commutated series-wound motor where the stator's field coils are connected in series with the rotor windings through a commutator. This allows the motor to be able to run on either AC or DC power. Universal motors are typically used in applications such as power tools, vacuum cleaners, and food processors. Universal motors are typically smaller and lighter than other types of motors, making them ideal for portable applications. They are also more efficient than other types of motors, and can operate at higher speeds than other types of motors. Additionally, they are relatively inexpensive and easy to maintain. Universal motors are used in a variety of industries, including automotive, aerospace, medical, and industrial. They are also used in consumer products such as power tools, vacuum cleaners, and food processors. Some companies in the universal motor market include ABB, Siemens, Emerson Electric, Rockwell Automation, and Johnson Electric. Show Less Read more
