Normally DC brushed as there are quite a few drivers for these. the AC and brushless type aren't catered for at hobby level yet.
Read the full replyThe recent questions on CNC have me wondering about servo motors, What type are normally used DC brushed motors or AC motors, just wondering as I have 3 AC style and wonder if someone has a use for them before I see how good they are as wind turbine motors?
These have permanent magnets in them so spinning the motor is producing 3 phase out put at lower voltage
