For DC:
Permanent magnet brush motor; (uses fixed magnets for stator fields); toys and automotive use
Shunt field motor; (field winding has many turns of fine wire in parallel with armature) small machines;
Series field motor; (field winding has few turns of heavy wire in series with armature); high speed, high torque;
Compound field motor; (has both series and shunt fields); large machinery, general purpose workhorses;
Brushless DC motors (use electronics to switch stator windings on and off, and have permanent magnet rotors) small fans and light loads.
For single phase AC:
Split Phase induction motor (2 different windings connected to supply, cage type rotor) low torque, general purpose;
Capacitor Start induction motor; (As per split phase, but with capacitor in series with starting winding) high starting torque, general purpose;
Capacitor start, Capacitor run induction motor; (as per capacitor start, but different capacitors used for starting and running) high starting and running torque, quietest running;
Shaded pole induction motor; (run winding and copper or aluminium ring around part of iron core of stator) small, cheap motors, low torque;
Universal motor; (as per series DC motor above) high torque, high speed, poor speed stability.
For 2 or 3 phase AC (star or delta connected)
Polyphase induction motor (2 or 3 identical windings on stator, cage rotor) general purpose;
Wound rotor induction motor (2 or 3 identical windings on stator, wound rotor connected in star to 3 sliprings and external resistance unit) very high starting torque, low starting current;
Synchronous motor; (standard stator, and wound rotor connected to DC supply for 'excitation' of rotor field) constant speed, power factor correction.
