Description: This multimedia tutorial teaches the user concepts about motor operation principles. It concentrates on the following topics: - DC Motors - Brushless DC Motors - Stepper Motors - Switched Reluctance Motors - Brushless AC Motors - AC Induction Motors The stepper motor is very simplified. The rotor of a real stepper motor usually has many poles. The animation has only ten poles, however, whereas a real stepper motor might have one hundred. These are formed using a single magnet mounted in line with the rotor axis and two pole pieces with many teeth. The teeth are staggered to produce many poles. The stator poles of a real stepper motor also have many teeth. The teeth are arranged so that the two phases are still 90 degrees out of phase.
