Motor Type
Motor Type identifies the electrical design of the motor turning a record player’s platter. It does not describe the belt, wheel or other drive connection.
Common descriptions include AC synchronous, AC induction, brushed DC and brushless DC. A synchronous motor runs in step with its electrical supply frequency; an induction motor operates with a difference between rotor speed and the rotating magnetic field. Brushed and brushless distinguish how current is switched within a DC motor arrangement.
Motor Type — Turntable
The design influences the power and control system it needs. For a complete turntable, compare documented speed stability and noise separately: the motor label alone cannot rank the finished product.
Keep unspecified details unknown. A DC motor label does not establish brushes, and a DC power adapter does not identify the motor inside. Coreless or slotless describes construction; check the manufacturer’s full motor description rather than treating those words as a complete performance specification.
