Technology / Motors / Synchronous Motor: A motor which operates at a constant speed up to full load. The rotor speed is equal to the speed of the rotating magnetic field of the stator: there is no slip. There are two (2) major types reluctance and permanent magnet on synchronous motors. A synchronous motor is often used where the exact speed of a motor must be maintained.

Technology / Motors / Reluctance Synchronous Motor: A synchronous motor with a special rotor design which directly lines the rotor up with the rotating magnetic field of the stator, allowing for no slip under load. The reluctance motors have lower effi MORE
Technology / Motors / Synchronous Speed: The speed of the rotating magnetic field set up by the stator winding of an induction motor. In a synchronous motor the rotor locks into step with the rotating magnetic field, and the motor is said to MORE
Technology / Motors / Permanent Magnet Synchronous (PMR): (HYSTERESIS SYNCHRONOUS) A motor with magnets embedded into the rotor assembly, which enable the rotor to align itself with the rotating magnetic field of the stator. These motors have zero slip (cons MORE
