What is an Electric Motor?

The Electric Motor is a pivotal element within an electric forklift, serving as the dynamic device that transforms electrical energy into mechanical energy. This conversion process is achieved through principles of electromagnetism. When an electric current is introduced into a magnetic field, it generates a force.

This force, in turn, creates a torque on a loop of wire present in the magnetic field, causing the motor to spin and perform useful work. The electric motor’s role is critical in powering the forklift, enabling it to lift, transport, and maneuver loads with precision. Its efficiency and environmental friendliness make electric motors increasingly popular in modern forklift designs.
