motor

A motor is a mechanical device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, typically through electromagnetic principles. Most motors generate torque by interacting conductors carrying current with a magnetic field. Different types of motors vary in their arrangement of conductors and fields, as well as their control over torque, speed, and position.1

Hydraulic power systems also utilize motors, which convert pressurized fluid into mechanical output. These motors can be linear, producing straight-line motion, or rotational, creating torque on an output shaft. Hydraulic motors are found in applications like aircraft, automobiles, and industrial machinery.2
