Electric Motors

Electric motors are the backbone of modern automation. They convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, and the resulting motion and torque drives the load.

Motors come in all shapes and sizes and can be found in a variety of applications like industrial fans, blowers, pumps, machine tools, household appliances, power tools, disk drives, conveyors, heavy machinery, robotics, and motor vehicles.

When designing a motor application, it is crucial to know what kind of motors are available. Different types offer specific advantages, and choosing the correct motor can help boost productivity and cut costs.

The two most common types of electric motors are AC and DC. The biggest difference between the two is the type of current the motor turns into energy. AC motors use alternating current while DC motors use direct current. Both have their unique advantages. DC motors are regarded for their output range and speed while AC motors are known for their performance and efficiency.

Electric motors are available in a wide variety of frame sizes and speeds. With brands like Marathon Motors, Baldor Electric, Lessons Electric, US motors, and WEG electric, State Motor is equipped with many electric motor options perfect for a variety of applications.
