An asynchronous motor, also known as an induction motor, is a commonly used type of electric motor. It consists of a stator, which is fixed and generates a rotating magnetic field, and a rotor, which is located inside the stator and is influenced by this magnetic field. The rotor typically consists of a slotted core inserted into the stator. Asynchronous motors are widely used in industrial and household equipment such as pumps, fans and conveyors, due to their simple design and reliability.
A characteristic feature of induction motors is that the rotor speed is slightly lower than the synchronous speed of the generated magnetic field, leading to the term "asynchronous". This speed difference is called slip and is responsible for the motors ability to produce torque. Asynchronous motors are generally robust and require little maintenance, making them attractive for a variety of applications. They operate in AC systems and are available in a variety of power sizes to meet different requirements. They are widely used in industry due to their efficiency and reliability.
