Oct 28, 2016 at 19:58 comment added Antoine L @Richard Crowley but on the other hand it is a project that requires a relay. What type of motor should i use in order to use a relay. According to the size of the construction, could you give me some clues on how to find an enough powerfull motor to move the steel frame? 4-5Kg?

Oct 27, 2016 at 22:16 comment added Richard Crowley That high-speed, low power motor is COMPLETELY WRONG for the project you are proposing. You need a DC gear-motor or a stepping motor for slow-controlled movement. Recommend not wasting any more time trying to use that motor. Get something at least remotely suitable.
Oct 27, 2016 at 20:14 comment added Antoine L Regarding the 3rd question, what do you think of the idea on this video youtube.com/watch?v=Q7gw3uDRXPw ?
Oct 27, 2016 at 19:58 comment added Antoine L Thank you all very much for the answers, they really helped me make a few things clear! I edited the question after @Richard Crowley encuraged me to give more info regarding the project and the circuit form, please don't hesitate to edit the question if there is a mistake or ask me anything.

Oct 22, 2016 at 18:17 comment added D.A.S. @Decapod yes but hair drivers use tiny DC motors with magnets and a series diode and bridge youtu.be/Vq7EOmvU1eQ?t=520
Oct 22, 2016 at 18:13 comment added Decapod @TonyStewart.EEsince'75 In simple toy motors for AC and DC you can find the same construction. To make such a motor running you need only 3 windings and collector segments. See this youtube link youtube.com/watch?v=0meTe1xR8iA
Oct 22, 2016 at 18:09 comment added Decapod @TonyStewart.EEsince'75. A motor design like the one from OP is suitable to run on AC and DC. If the motor was only suitable for DC is could have a massive stator core (no eddy current problems ). This one however has a laminated stator core to reduce eddy currents when running in an AC situation.
Oct 22, 2016 at 15:05 comment added D.A.S. So there must be around 16 armature contact pairs per rev to chop the AC or DC to the rotor windings and reverse coil polarity. got it... I wonder if it an even number of pairs
Oct 22, 2016 at 15:00 comment added Bruce Abbott @TonyStewart it's a series wound DC motor, which also works on AC because reversing polarity changes current direction in both armature and field coils, so it keeps spinning in the same direction.
Oct 22, 2016 at 14:28 comment added Richard Crowley It is not an "AC motor" it is a "universal" motor that "creates" its own moving field through the brushes, commutator and multiple windings on the rotor.
Oct 22, 2016 at 14:23 comment added D.A.S. Wouldn't you saturate the windings with DC on an AC motor and fry it
