Electric Motor

An electric motor is an electric machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. The reverse conversion of mechanical energy into electrical energy is done by an electric generator.

Electric motors are made up of two main components. One stationary called the stator, 
the other a rotor that moves inside the stator. The stator has multiple wire coils running 
electricity through them that creates a concentrated magnetic field that turns the rotor creating mechanical power. 

Now, using a cord made of heat and chemical resistant polyester, they bind the coils tightly to ensure they won´t move when the motor spins. This unit abound coils is known as the stator coil. 

Now, they have to balance the rotor. If it´s off kilter the motor will vibrate hampering performance. They balance it the same way a mechanic balances car tires, only with 100 times greater precision.

Now, they heat the fan and install it over the back cover. The fan´s job is to cool the running motor, so that it doesn´t overheat and breakdown. 


Then install a cover on the front of the motor as well. They run the finished motor through 
various tests: to assemble other things, insulation strenght and perfomance. These industrial motors are designed for use in factories for running machinery such as conveyor belts, pumps, fans and compressors.
