Motors are electrically powered instruments which are used in a wide variety of applications. They convert electrical energy to mechanical energy by interacting between an electric motors magnetic field and winding currents to generate force. They find a wide range of applications as they can be used in industrial fans, blowers, water pumps, motor vehicles etc. Electric motors produce linear rotary force known as torque which is suitable to power industrial appliances and heavy duty equipment. Some commonly used motors are electric AC motor, electric DC motor, air motor, gear motor, hydraulic motor, linear motor, servo motor and stepper motor. Other motors include rocket motor, trolling motor, outboard motor, synchronous motor, induction motor, brushed motor, starter motor. Some commonly used industrial motors include molecular motor, synthetic molecular motor, internal fan cooled electrical motor, nanomotor and electrostatic motor.

Motors that are used in industrial electric drives are DC shunt motor, cumulative compound motor, three-phase synchronous motor, squirrel cage motor and double squirrel cage motor. Other motors include slip ring induction motor, single phase series motor and capacitor induction motor. Induction motors, capacitor start run induction motor, squirrel cage induction motor and single-phase AC supply motor is used in water pumps. However, a simple aquarium submersible pump can also be used in water pumps as they comprise of a shaded-pole motor or a stepper motor. Most industries and commercial establishments depend on motors to function as they quicken the pace of work and reduce labour. Some popular locations to get in touch with retailers who sell motors in the UAE are Sheikh Zayed Road, Deira, Hamdan Street, Al Quasis Industrial area, Ras Al Khor, Kojak building, Motor city business park Dubai, Al Aweer, Musaffah, Electra Street, Salam Street, Khalidiya, SAIF zone, Industrial Area 13 Sharjah, Rolla, Nadja Street and Naser Square.
