Types of motors

U.E.T.C.C
Single Phase
Ordinary household wiring is single phase, alternating current. Each cycle peaks
and dips as shown. To run a three phase motor a phase converter must be used,
usually this is not practical, it is often less expensive to change the motor on a
machine to a single phase style.

Three Phase
This is used in industrial shops, rather than peaks and valleys the current supply is
more even because of the other two cycles each offset by 120 degrees.

Linear motor
A linear motor or linear induction motor is an alternating
current (AC) electricmotor that has had its stator "unrolled" so that instead of
producing a torque (rotation) it produces a linear forcealong its length. The most
common mode of operation is as a Lorentz-type actuator, in which the applied
force is linearly proportional to the current and the magnetic field
(F = qv × B).

Brush DC motor
To keep the torque on a DC motor from reversing every time the coil
moves through the plane perpendicular to the magnetic field, a split-ring
device called a commutator is used to reverse the current at that point. The
 electrical contacts to the rotating ring are called "brushes" since copper
brush contacts were used in early motors. Modern motors normally use
spring-loaded carbon contacts, but the historical name for the contacts has
persisted.

Brushless DC motor (BLDC)

A brushless DC motor (BLDC) is a synchronous electric motor which is
powered by direct-current electricity (DC) and which has an electronically
controlled commutation system, instead of a mechanical commutation system
based on brushes. In such motors, current and torque, voltage and rpm are
linearly.

Stepper motor
A stepper motor (or step motor) is a brushless, synchronous electric
motor that can divide a full rotation into a large number of steps. The
motor's position can be controlled precisely without any feedback
mechanism (see Open-loop controller), as long as the motor is carefully
sized to the application. Stepper motors are similar to switched reluctance
motors (which are very large stepping motors with a reduced pole count,
and generally are closed-loop commutated.)
