DC Motor Parts

Component	Function	Typical Materials Used
Stator	Generates a magnetic field	Laminated iron or steel
Rotor	Rotating part of the motor; includes armature and commutator	Armature: Iron or laminated steel Commutator: Copper or copper segments
Armature Windings	Carries current, interacts with the magnetic field, and generates mechanical motion	Copper or aluminum wire
Brushes	Supply electrical current to the armature	Carbon or graphite
Bearing	Supports the rotor shaft and reduces friction	Steel or ceramic
Housing or Frame	Provides structural support and protection for the motor	Aluminum, steel, or plastic
End Caps	Protect internal components and secure bearings	Metal or plastic
Shaft	Transmits mechanical output to external devices or machinery	Steel
Cooling Fan	Provides cooling airflow to maintain an optimal operating temperature	Plastic or metal
Eye Bolt	Provides a point for lifting, suspending, or securely fastening the motor	Steel or other durable materials
Field Pole	Part of the stator that concentrates the magnetic field	Laminated iron or steel
Field Winding	Coils of wire that produce the field magnetic field	Copper or aluminum wire
Yoke	Supports and completes the magnetic circuit in the motor	Iron or steel
