Industry Information

Universal Motor

A universal motor is a rotating electric device that can operate on either direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC). A universal motor is called universal because of this flexibility, although they almost always operate on AC power. Yet unlike AC motors, a universal motor can be used for high-speed operations.

A universal motor offers an advantage over regular AC motors because they have a high starting torque level. The disadvantage, however, is that a universal motor has a considerably shorter life. For this reason, a universal motor is most often found in AC devices that are only used intermittently. A universal motor will supply power to blenders, vacuum cleaners, power tools, clothes washers, fans, and blow dryers.
