PM-100 PERMANENT MAGNET MOTOR

With a fixed line voltage applied, a permanent magnet field motor is characteristic of a DC shunt motor but, generally, slightly smaller in size and lower in cost. The field is not wound, but of a high flux, low cost material such as Alnico or a ceramic composite. The speed is controlled by varying the line voltage across the armature. This type of motor is used in toys and automotive accessory drives where cost and size are of special consideration.
