  2. Field coil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_coil

    The large brown molded-plastic piece in the foreground supports the brush guides and brushes (both sides), as well as the front motor bearing. A field coil is an electromagnet used to generate a magnetic field in an electro-magnetic machine, typically a rotating electrical machine such as a motor or generator.

  3. Electric motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_motor

    An industrial electric motor . An electric motor is a machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and electric current in a wire winding to generate force in the form of torque applied on the motor's shaft.

  4. Low magnetic electric motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_magnetic_electric_motor

    The parts and components used to manufacture these electric motors are selected from materials with a low magnetic permeability. There are three major means of reducing the emanating magnetic stray fields of an electric motor: a dedicated electric and magnetic layout, electromagnetic shielding and additional compensating coils.

  8. Electrostatic motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatic_motor

    An electrostatic motor or capacitor motor is a type of electric motor based on the attraction and repulsion of electric charge. An alternative type of electrostatic motor is the spacecraft electrostatic ion drive thruster where forces and motion are created by electrostatically accelerating ions.

  9. Commutator (electric) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commutator_(electric)

    A commutator is a rotary electrical switch in certain types of electric motors and electrical generators that periodically reverses the current direction between the rotor and the external circuit. It consists of a cylinder composed of multiple metal contact segments on the rotating armature of the machine.
