What is an electric motor? What are the types?

An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Most electric motors operate through the interaction between a magnetic field and electric current in a winding of wire. This interaction creates a force (Faraday's Law) as torque on the motor shaft. The electric motor consists of two main parts, one of which is fixed (Stator or Inductor) and the other rotating around itself (Rotor or Armature). These main parts are divided into various parts: parts that transmit electric current (windings, brushes), parts that transmit magnetic flux (insulated sheet components) and parts that support the formation (screws, bearings). Electric motor Structure of the Electric Motor Electric motors are basically divided into two groups according to the electric current they feed: direct current (DC) motors and alternating current (AC) motors. Direct current (DC) motors can operate with direct current sources such as batteries, batteries or adapters. Alternating current (AC) motors are motors that can operate "frequency dependent" with the city network, industrial voltage, transformer, inverter or generator. Today, engine diversity has developed in parallel with technology. Stepper (step), servo, BLDC (brushless DC), reducer (gearbox) and encoder motors, etc. It is possible to make very precise and efficient applications with these varieties. Where to use? There is almost no field or sector where electric motors are not used anymore. Aspirators, fans, air conditioners, coolers-heaters, electrical household appliances, hand tools, machine automation, robotic applications, laboratory-medical equipment, food cooking-storage, agriculture and livestock applications, home and factory automation, communication industry and automotive, in short, movement in every required area… Electric motors are much more efficient than other internal combustion engines in industry and transportation. It is also lighter, physically smaller, mechanically simpler, cheaper to build, and can deliver more consistent torque at any speed. It works with electricity produced by renewable resources and does not release carbon into the atmosphere. For these reasons, electric motors are replacing internal combustion engines in transportation and industry. However, although their use in vehicles is limited due to insufficient charging/usage times, high cost and weight of batteries, they are developing and becoming widespread day by day. Electric motors are also produced in our country, and the number of manufacturing companies and product types are increasing day by day. Among our main domestic engine manufacturers; Kormas, Femsan, Gamak, Volt and Elkmotor can be counted…
