Frequently asked questions about electric motors
An electric motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy through electromagnetic forces, causing a rotor to spin within a magnetic field.
igus® provide a variety of motors:
- EC/BLDC motors
- DC (direct current) motors
- Stepper motors
These are designed for a variety of purposes that allow entire handling systems to be configured.
You can apply voltage to the motor to see if it spins freely, checking for abnormal noises, and ensuring it operates within specifications. Contact our experts for more information.
