Manufacturing
To move materials and parts for processing
and assembly
Milling machines
CNC machines powered by electric or
hydraulic motors.
Robots or manipulators - electric or hydraulic.
A familiar example: pick and place robot
etc.
Domestic
Mostly electric motors
Such devices include :
the coffee grinder,
dishwasher, vacuum cleaner, sewing machine,
video recorder, CD player, camera,
personal computer,
power tools,
electric razors,
etc.
Automobiles
Both electric and hydraulic, e.g.:
steering and suspension systems.
electric windows,
central door locking, sunroof operation,
mirror positioning, etc.
Information Technology
Motors are found in abundance in IT
equipment:
Personal computers:
disk drives,
CD drives,
floppy drives etc.
Printers,
Fax machines, etc.
Healthcare
Specialist healthcare equipment:
the dentists drill is commonly pneumatic
although some are being replaced with very
small electric motors.
Electric wheelchairs are now much more
common than they used to be, due in part to
improved battery technology.
Dialysis pumps etc.
Drive System
In order to produce the required motion we need
additional circuitry - apart from the motor itself to drive and control the system
They are referred to as power converter circuits
The converter draws electrical energy from the
source (e.g. mains) and supplies it to the motor at
whatever voltage and frequency is necessary to
achieve the required mechanical output
