Search for DC Motors by specification

DC motors are configured in many types and sizes, including brushless, servo, and gearmotor types. A motor consists of a rotor and a permanent magnetic field stator. The magnetic field is maintained using either permanent magnets or electromagnetic windings. DC motors are most commonly used in variable speed and torque applications.


Products & Services Related to DC Motors
AC Motors
AC motors include single, multiphase, universal, induction, synchronous, and gear motors. They also include servomotors.  
AC Servomotors
AC servomotors are responsive, high-acceleration motors typically constructed as permanent magnet synchronous motors.
DC Servomotors
DC servomotors are generally small and powerful for their size, and easy to control. Common types of DC servomotors include brushless or gear motors.
Gearmotors
Gearmotors consist of an AC or DC motor with an integral gearbox or gear head that steps delivered speed up or down.
Stepper Motors
Stepper motors use a magnetic field to move a rotor in small angular steps or fractions of steps. They provide precise positioning and ease of use, especially in low acceleration or static load applications.
