Paper Shredder Motor

The heart of a paper shredder is a powerful electric motor, typically AC or DC. This motor spins a gear train, which reduces the motor's speed and increases its torque. This increased torque is crucial for shredding through paper. The type of motor used can vary depending on the shredder's capacity. Smaller personal shredders might use simpler AC motors, while heavy-duty commercial shredders might utilize more robust DC motors for peak shredding power.
