We manufacture electric motors Asynchronous motor, also known as an induction motor, is a type of AC (alternating current) motor where the rotor (the rotating part) does not move at the same speed as the stator’s magnetic field. This difference in speed, called “slip,” is what allows the motor to induce an electric current in the rotor, generating torque.
Here’s how it works in simple terms:
1. Stator and Rotor: The stator produces a rotating magnetic field when AC power is applied. This field induces a current in the rotor (without any physical electrical connection), creating its own magnetic field.
2. Induction and Slip: The rotor tries to catch up to the rotating magnetic field of the stator, but it always lags slightly behind (asynchronously) due to resistance, causing the rotation and thus the “slip.”
3. Common Applications: Asynchronous motors are popular in industries because of their durability, simplicity, and cost-effectiveness. They’re widely used in fans, pumps, conveyors, and compressors.
This motor design is efficient and easy to maintain, making it a staple in industrial and commercial applications.
