What are asynchronous electric motors?

At Electromecánica Blasco Gomez we specialize in the maintenance of asynchronous motors in Tarragona. Three-phase electric motors can be synchronous or asynchronous.. Asynchronous motors are used. mostly. in industrial machinery. In asynchronous motors the electromagnetic speed and the rotor speed are independent. (not synchronized). The engine has 2 main parts:

  • the stator – which is the metal casing with electrical coils that generate a rotating electromagnetic field called “stator field”
  • the rotor – a metal piece with coils that creates another rotating electromagnetic field of different speed called “rotor field”

How does the asynchronous electric motor work?

The stator field and the rotor field have a difference in relative speeds that cause the rotor to start moving by rotating inside the stator.. The speed of the rotor never reaches the speed of the rotating electromagnetic field. The loss of energy from the motor is dissipated as heat, Therefore they must have a fan.

Advantages of asynchronous motor

The main advantages of the asynchronous motor are:

  • high efficiency
  • constant engine torque
  • reliability
  • lack of vibrations
  • relatively low cost
