Motors with high efficiency and compact size. They provide high torque in a big range of speeds. High efficiency in many working conditions. They cannot work without a suitable electronic driver.
Control types:
Simple, robust and economic motors. Voltage or frequency control. The control using a frequency converter (inverter) allows to maintain a good efficieny at different speeds.
Great range of speed regulation, but the commutator brushes need maintenance.
Wound-rotor synchronous motors. Stepper motors. Variable reluctance motors. ...
