It takes in the \u2018incoming\u2019 electrical energy in the form of direct current and converts it in to \u2018outgoing\u2019 mechanical energy for different devices to work. A magnetic field (with rotating and stationary magnets) is created in a DC motor, which helps in the conversion of electrical energy to mechanical energy.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Which are the various types of DC Motors?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p align=\"justify\">DC motors are categorized on the basis of the connection of the field winding in relation to the armature. There are 3 main types involved:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Series DC Motor: In this type, the armatures and the field windings are connected in series.<\/li>\n<li>Shunt Wound DC Motor: In this type of DC motor, the field windings are connected parallel to the armature<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Compound DC Motor: As the name suggests, in this type the field windings are connected in two sets; one set is parallel to the armature and the other is in series.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Learn more on this topic in our related blog \u2013 <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.venturemfgco.com\/blog\/process-of-replacing-dc-motor-gearbox-on-fifth-wheel-landing-gear\/\">Process of Replacing DC Motor Gearbox on Fifth Wheel Landing Gear<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Which are the types of DC Motor Controls?<\/h2>\n<p>There are 3 main types of DC motor controls:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Manual DC Motor: In this type, the operator has to intervene and mechanically apply force for energy conversion.<\/li>\n<li>Semi-automatic Motor: This motor runs with the use of switches and sensors.
