AC Motors

AC motors, operating on alternate current power, are electric motors designed to transform electrical energy into mechanical energy (motion). These motors provide constant torque over varied speed ranges in various applications. An AC motor gets power from a single-phase or three-phase AC source, the latter of which is preferred for industrial applications due to its higher power efficiency and smoother operations. Unlike DC motors, AC motors are widely used in various settings, powering everything from fans and pumps to conveyor belts and electric vehicles. 

Most Common Types of AC Motors:

AC motors are available in various forms, each for specific applications and settings. Our range of AC motor types includes:

• AC Induction Motors – These are the most common motors widely used in kitchen appliances, industrial machinery, and automobiles. 
• AC Servo Motors – These are highly precise control motors used extensively in automation and robotics, capable of adjusting speed, position, and torque to high accuracies. An AC servo motor relies on a feedback mechanism to ensure optimal performance, typically involving encoders or resolvers.
• AC Stepper Motors – These motors are designed for applications where precise positioning is essential. They operate by moving in discrete steps. An AC stepper motor is commonly used in printing presses, CNC machines, and 3D printers due to their reliability in maintaining exact positions without a feedback system.
• AC Synchronous Motors – These motors operate at a constant speed up to their synchronous rate, which directly corresponds to the frequency of the current. AC synchronous motors are ideal for applications where consistent speed is necessary, such as in synchronous clocks, conveyor systems, and complex machinery.
• AC Geared Motors – An AC geared motor incorporates gears that are integrated into its design to reduce speed and increase torque. They suit applications requiring high torque at low speed, such as lifts, cranes, and other heavy-duty machinery.
• AC Squirrel Cage Motors – These are robust and maintenance-free motors commonly used across various industries. Their rotor resembles a squirrel cage, which provides excellent efficiency and durability, making them a popular choice for HVAC systems and industrial equipment.
• AC Shaded Pole Motors – They are simple, single-phase induction motors generally used in low-power applications. They feature a shaded pole on one part of the stator to create a delayed magnetic field, suitable for devices like fans, blowers, and small household appliances.
