Motor Coils

About Motor Coils

Motor coils are used with motors, generators, stators, and armatures. Many feature Class F or Class H insulation and can be sealed for severe operating conditions. There are many different types of products. Some motor coils are designed for specific types of alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC) motors. Product categories include AC motor coils, DC motor coils, linear motor coils, stepper motor coils and servo motor coils. Traditionally, the motor coils which produce the magnetic field are called “field coils” while the coils and the solid core are called the “armature”. Generator coils are designed for use with generators, machines that convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. Stator coils are designed for use with a stator, the stationary part of a generator within which a rotor turns. Finally, armature coils are designed for armatures, devices which vibrate under the influence of a magnetic field, or within which an electromotive force is induced.
