The manufacturer of adjustable speed motor asks whether the motor the motor are the same thing!

Electric motor electric motor are two kinds of equipment that we often use. The people who often use them know the difference between them, but they can't distinguish them for foreigners. Many people are asking if they are the same? The manufacturer of speed regulating motor is here to tell you that they are different.

Electric motor is a kind of electromagnetic device which can convert transfer electric energy according to the law of electromagnetic induction. Its main function is to generate driving torque, as the power source of electrical appliances various machines. Electric motor is a kind of equipment that converts electric energy into mechanical energy. It uses the electric coil to generate a rotating magnetic field act on the rotor to form a magnetoelectric rotating torque.

Motor including motor generator is the general term of generator motor, which are conceptually different each other. The motor is only one of the operation modes of the motor. Only when the motor is running in the electric mode, it is to convert the electric energy into other forms of energy. The other operation mode of the motor is the generator, which is running in the power generation mode, to convert other forms of energy into electric energy. However, some motors, such as synchronous motors, are usually used as generators, but they can also be used as motors directly. Asynchronous motor is more used for motor, but it can also be used as generator after adding simple peripheral elements.

How to distinguish between generator motor:

1. Energy conversion: the generator converts mechanical energy to electrical energy, the motor converts electrical energy to mechanical energy.

2. Working principle: the generator works with electromagnetic induction, the motor works with the effect of magnetic field on current.

3. External equipment: the generator is externally connected with the electric appliance, the motor is externally connected with the power supply.

4. Active passive rotation: the generator rotates passively, the motor rotates actively.
