From Silicon Labs
Small motors, less than 300 W, are found in a wide variety of applications. These include automobiles, printers, copiers, paper handlers, factory automation, test equipment, robotics, space & military, and many others. The most popular small motors types are DC, Brushless DC, and Stepper motors. The quantity of motors produced is roughly inversely proportional to the power level. Small motors are produced in much higher quantities than larger motors.
