DC wound field motors are the motors used to lift and lower hydraulic tailgates, snow plows and other heavy forward/reverse rotar applications quickly and smoothly at a constant speed. These high torque dc motors are more concerned with generating a large amount of starting torque in either forward or reverse mode, and less concerned with regulating or varying speed. For other types of high starting torque, low amperage draw DC motors, see our DC starter motors.
Frequently Asked Questions
DC Wound Field Motors are electric motors that use direct current (DC) to create a magnetic field. This magnetic field interacts with the motor's rotor, causing it to spin. DC Wound Field Motors are known for their high starting torque and variable speed control.
DC Wound Field Motors offer several advantages, including: High starting torque, Variable speed control, Compact size, and High efficiency.
DC Wound Field Motors are used in a wide range of applications, including: Electric vehicles, Industrial machinery, Robotics, and Medical equipment.
When choosing a DC Wound Field Motor, consider factors such as: Power requirements, Speed requirements, Torque requirements, and Duty cycle.
