Whether your design application is industrial, farm duty or portable, such as in a power washer or automobile application, alternating current motors can provide the power you need for your application. AC electric motors now have options and configurations to suit almost any application.
If you have determined that an AC motor control is what your design needs, now you just need to find the supplier that carries the AC motor that meets your specifications. Some of the options for AC motors include:
Find supplier catalogs with the AC motors that meet your specifications
With all these options, it's difficult to find a supplier that has a alternating current motor to meet your design criteria. If you are looking for a replacement AC motor, you'll have even more exacting specifications.
I recommend: ThomasNet and
GlobalSpec are two engineering catalog search tools that help you find the components you need fast. ThomasNet enables you to find your supplier by location or specialty, while GlobalSpec enables you to search only suppliers providing AC motors and AC motor components with your exacting specifications. You'll need to register for GlobalSpec, but the process is free and takes only minutes.
Look for high quality when searching for alternating current AC motors
Although a great price is certainly a reason to buy AC motors, keep quality in mind as well. Your project needs an AC motor that has the same lifespan as the other components in the design. This keeps things running smoothly, with the design as well as your client.

Consider AC motor suppliers with easy ordering options
Many motion control suppliers have easy ordering options with online shopping carts to make quick work of the process. For some applications, this may be the least expensive, quickest way to meet your needs.
I recommend: AutomationDirect has a fast, automated ordering system for those small general AC motor needs. Not only do they have an easy ordering system, they also have great prices as well.
