Informational Blog on Electric Motors
Electric motors are such an integral yet often overlooked part of our modern industrial world. They power everything from tiny fans to massive conveyor systems.
In this blog hosted by Heartland Motors, we plan to explore all aspects of electric motor design, operation, selection, and applications. You can find info on topics like torque, efficiency, speed control, cooling, insulation, and more.
Our goal is to demystify motor terminology and theory in an engaging way. You’ll find practical advice on motor sizing, troubleshooting, maintenance, and repair. We want this to be an informative and inclusive community for newbies and seasoned pros alike.
We help explain terms like electromagnetism, power transmission, bearings, windings, and any other motor mysteries that need demystifying.
