induction motor (LIM) is an alternating current (AC), asynchronous linear motor that
works by the same general principles as other induction motors but
• Electric motor
An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical
energy. Most electric motors operate through the interaction
• Synchronous motor
synchronous motor and the induction motor are the most widely used types of AC
motors. The difference between the two types is that the synchronous motor rotates
• DC motor
A DC motor is any of a class of rotary electrical motors that converts direct current (DC)
electrical energy into mechanical energy. The most common types
• AC motor
rotation. The two main types of AC motors are induction motors and synchronous
motors. The induction motor (or asynchronous motor) always relies on a small difference
• Linear motor
A linear motor is an electric motor that has had its stator and rotor "unrolled", thus,
instead of producing a torque (rotation), it produces a linear
• Universal motor
The universal motor is a type of electric motor that can operate on either AC or DC
power and uses an electromagnet as its stator to create its magnetic
• Traction motor
• Motor controller
• Motor drive
Motor drive means a system that includes a motor. An adjustable speed motor drive
means a system that includes a motor that has multiple operating speeds
• Motor capacitor
• Reluctance motor
A reluctance motor is a type of electric motor that induces non-permanent magnetic poles
on the ferromagnetic rotor. The rotor does not have any windings
is used to control AC synchronous and induction motors. It was originally developed for
high-performance motor applications that are required to operate
An axial flux motor (also known as an axial gap motor, or pancake motor) is a geometry
of electric motor construction where the gap between the rotor and

motor can produce 10 kW output or more and is able to replace a petrol engine of 15 HP
or more. The advantage of the induction or asynchronous motor is
squirrel-cage rotor is the rotating part of the common squirrel-cage induction motor. It
consists of a cylinder of steel laminations, with aluminum or copper
• Shaded-pole motor
shaded-pole motor is the original type of AC single-phase induction motor, dating back to
at least as early as 1890. A shaded-pole motor is a small squirrel-cage
