DC Motors

Because their speed varies almost linearly with armature voltage, DC motors are preferred where precise, wide-range speed control is required. Their ability to deliver high torque at start-up is an advantage in winding, extrusion and positioning systems. Brushed types need periodic commutator and brush maintenance; brushless (BLDC) types remove that requirement. The category includes DC motors across a range of voltage and power ratings. When replacing an existing motor, simply share the armature voltage, current, speed and field supply details from the nameplate.
