Depending on the application, different combinations of parameters should be considered.

Factors to be considered
Power source AC (120 V, 220 V, ) DC (batteries, etc)
Torque requirement (or power) hp rating Constant torque / Variable torque Starting torque

 RPM requirements A gear reduction is incorporated after the motor output Motor need to supply a certain RPM
Note: Gear reduction: provides speed and torque conversions from a rotating power source to another device using gear ratios

 Positioning during rotation Precision stopping Breaking Reversing (AC motors are easily reversed)
Note: For precision stopping control -Stepper Motors -Servo Motors Servo motors have to sense position of the motor and control accordingly Stepper motors move to specified angles, but there is no way to sense if it actually stopped at the desired position

 Speed control requirements Note:

If speed control is needed DC are much easier

(AC motors require frequency control instead of voltage control)

Mounting position What mounting options are there? Continuous / intermittent operation Will the motor operates for long periods of time?

 Operating environment What atmosphere will the motor be operating in? Will there be sensitive materials nearby? Physical size Length Diameter Insulation type

Cooling method
