Shunt DC motors are also known as compound wound DC motors. Shunt DC motors provide excellent speed regulation, as the shunt field can be excited separately from the armature windings. This feature of shunt direct connection motors provides simplified reversing controls.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17217\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17217\" style=\"width: 329px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17217\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Shunt-Motor-Wiring-Diagram320-1.bmp\" alt=\"DC motor types\" width=\"329\" height=\"217\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Shunt-Motor-Wiring-Diagram320-1.bmp 329w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Shunt-Motor-Wiring-Diagram320-1-300x198.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 329px) 100vw, 329px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17217\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">DC shunt motor (Reference: <strong>motioncontroltips.com<\/strong>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read more about <a title=\"AssunMotor&#039;s coreless brushless DC motor\" href=\"https:\/\/assunmotor.com\/products\/brushless-coreless-motor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AssunMotor&#8217;s coreless brushless DC motor<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>4.

These<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> types of motors<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> offer good starting torque, but they may have control problems in variable speed drive applications. These motors can be connected to two arrangements: cumulatively and differentially. The cumulative type connects the series field to aid the shunt field, providing higher starting torque but less speed regulation. The differential type has good speed regulation and usually operates at a constant speed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Various_DC_Motor_Applications\"><\/span><strong>Various DC Motor Applications<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In general, DC motors are used as variable speed drives and for the applications in which sever, torque variations occur. Now that you\u2019re familiar with different DC<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0motor types<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> let\u2019s get through their usages and applications.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Series DC motors are generally used where high starting torque is required, and speed variations are possible. These types of direct connection motors are, for instance, used in the traction system, cranes, air compressors, vacuum cleaners, sewing machines, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shunt DC motors are used for applications where you need constant speed, and the starting conditions are not severe. The shunt direct connection motors applications are in lathe machines, centrifugal pumps, fans, blowers, conveyors, lifts, waving machines, spinning machines, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compound wound motors are usually used where you need higher starting torque and relatively constant speed. The compound DC motors applications are in presses, shears, conveyors, elevators, rolling mills, heavy planners, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2321 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/photo_2020-10-04_13-25-40-e1601805933520.jpg\" alt=\"dc motor type - Linquip\" width=\"700\" height=\"388\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/photo_2020-10-04_13-25-40-e1601805933520.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/photo_2020-10-04_13-25-40-e1601805933520-300x166.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/photo_2020-10-04_13-25-40-e1601805933520-696x385.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_the_Main_Parts_of_a_DC_Motor\"><\/span><b>What Are the Main Parts of a DC Motor?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DC motors are composed of the following components: a stator, a rotor, a yoke, poles, armature windings, field windings, commutator, and brushes. Many of its parts are similar to those in AC motors, but there are a few differences.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_Advantages_of_DC_Motors\"><\/span><strong>What are the Advantages of DC Motors?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Comparing with the AC motors that converts alternating current into mechanical power, DC motors have some advantages you might want to consider.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generally, direct connection motors have higher starting torque than alternating current ones. This feature makes it easier to get things moving. The only problem of this feature is that you can\u2019t start them unless they are under a load. If a DC motor doesn\u2019t have a load to start, it can burn out fast.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The other advantage of various<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> DC motor types<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is that they generate a speed-torque curve that\u2019s more linear than the AC motors. This feature is actually due to the curve plotted between the torque and the motor\u2019s speed, which explains the relationship between how fast the motor spins and how much torque it can generate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ability to control the speed is the other upper hand of direct connection motors. If you\u2019re working with heavy load systems, the ability to control the speed becomes very crucial, and it determines whether you\u2019ll end up with a successful job or a burned out motor. Therefore, DC motors are ideal for any job needing constant low-speed torque or variable torque.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another important point to consider is that DC motors are easier to install compared to the AC motors. They also need less maintenance and are easier to repair. If your industrial types of equipment are set up to use DC motors, replacing a broken one with a DC motor is quick and easy. While replacing it with an AC motor will force you to redesign the whole motor circuit.\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#282828;border-radius:9px;-moz-border-radius:9px;-webkit-border-radius:9px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#424242;border-color:#ffffff;color:#ffffff;border-radius:9px;-moz-border-radius:9px;-webkit-border-radius:9px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/feed\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Test.jpg\" alt=\"Girl in a jacket\" width=\"300\" height=\"82\" title=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"roboto: sans serif;\"><b><a style=\"color: #84ffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/equipment\/31\/dc-motors\">\u00a0 \u00a0What is DC Motor?<\/a><br \/>\n<b><a style=\"color: #84ffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/equipment\/445\">\u00a0\u00a0 What is Industrial Motors?<br \/>\n<b><\/b><\/a><b><a style=\"color: #84ffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/equipment\/445\/motors\">\u00a0\u00a0 DC Motor For Sales<br \/>\n<\/a><\/b><\/b><\/b><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_thoughts\"><\/span><strong>Final thoughts<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this article, we went through all the important points about direct connection motors.
