  3. Electric motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_motor

    A piezoelectric motor or piezo motor is a type of electric motor based upon the change in shape of a piezoelectric material when an electric field is applied. Piezoelectric motors make use of the converse piezoelectric effect whereby the material produces acoustic or ultrasonic vibrations to produce linear or rotary motion. [ 85 ]

  4. Premium efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premium_efficiency

    Premium efficiency, when used in reference to specific types of Electric Motors (with a rotating shaft), is a class of motor efficiency.. As part of a concerted effort worldwide to reduce energy consumption, CO 2 emissions and the impact of industrial operations on the environment, various regulatory authorities in many countries have introduced, or are planning, legislation to encourage the ...

  5. Motor constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_constants

    The motor constant is winding independent (as long as the same conductive material is used for wires); e.g., winding a motor with 6 turns with 2 parallel wires instead of 12 turns single wire will double the velocity constant, , but remains unchanged.

  7. Electric machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_machine

    In electrical engineering, electric machine is a general term for machines using electromagnetic forces, such as electric motors, electric generators, and others.They are electromechanical energy converters: an electric motor converts electricity to mechanical power while an electric generator converts mechanical power to electricity.

  8. Traction motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traction_motor

    A ZQDR-410 traction motor (the large, dark component on the axle with small ventilation holes) A traction motor is an electric motor used for propulsion of a vehicle, such as locomotives, electric or hydrogen vehicles, or electric multiple unit trains.

  9. DC motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_motor

    The motor speed varies as a non-linear function of load torque and armature current; current is common to both the stator and rotor yielding current squared (I^2) behavior [citation needed]. A series motor has very high starting torque and is commonly used for starting high inertia loads, such as trains, elevators or hoists. [2]
