Description of Electronic Motor types
Types of DC Motors:
General data: DC Motors are used in variable speed applications.
Homopolar DC Motor: A direct-current (dc) generator whose poles
have the same polarity, with respect to the armature. Thus, no commutator
is necessary.
Commutator DC Motor: In a direct-current (dc) motor, generator, or
rotating selector, an arrangement of parallel metal bars or strips on a
rotating drum. As the drum turns, the bars contact one or more brushes
that are in sliding contact with the commutator.
PM DC Motor: [Permanent Magnet] motor uses a permanent magnet
instead of armature windings are mounted on the rotor.Permanent Magnet
[PM] motors are normally small and produce little horsepower.
Series DC Motor: connect the field windings in series with the
armature, used for high-torque loads.
Shunt DC Motor: use high-resistance field winding connected in
parallel with the armature.
Compound DC Motor: combine the series and shunt types.
Types of AC Motors:
Induction AC Motor: the induction motor is a three-phase AC
motor
Synchronous AC Motor: are Synchronized with the power line
frequency.

This is a general listing of Electrical Motor manufacturers and vendors. The types of products or devices the manufacturer produces are listed under the company name, in alphabetic order. Additional electronic component manufacturers may be found by selecting the Components icon below, or Electronic Equipment manufacturers may be found by selecting the OEM Equipment icon.
Note the listing for Optical Encoder Manufacturers has been removed
Optical encoders are a combination of both an optical part and a mechanical part.
The mechanical section is the moving portion of the encoder.
