What is the forward direction of the motor, clockwise or counterclockwise?

1. There is a national standard for the term of motor rotation direction, which is only called clockwise or counterclockwise, but no one stipulates that the motor must rotate clockwise.

2. If there is only one axial extension, or two axial extensions with different diameters, look from the axial extension end (two axial extensions look at the large diameter end); If there are two shafts with the same diameter, or there is no shaft extension, look from the end with commutator or slip ring; If there is a commutator at one end and a slip ring at the other end, look from the slip ring end. The rotation direction of the motor is clockwise and counterclockwise.

Expand knowledge:

Most engines rotate clockwise. Don't confuse the engine with the motor. The main reasons for the clockwise rotation of the engine are as follows: according to the design of the transmission system, when the engine runs clockwise facing the fan, the torque passes through the gearbox, the transmission shaft and the drive axle, and finally reaches the wheels, which is exactly the forward direction.
