What is Stator?
[[File:Stator and rotor by Zureks.JPG|thumb|Stator (right) of an electric motor]] A '''stator''' is the part of a [[Rotation|rotary]] system that does not move. It is the fixed, [[wikt:stationary|stationary]] part of an electric machine ([[motor]] or [[generator]]). The stator might act as the field magnet (working with the [[armature]] to create the spinning movement) or as the armature (receives influence from the moving field coils of the [[Rotor (electric)|rotor]]). == Related pages == * [[Rotor (electric)]] [[Category:Electricity]] [[Category:Motors]] {{tech-stub}}
