From Exlar

In the first installment of this series, "Calculating a practical hotspot safety margin", we discussed how two-parameter thermal models assume that the entire motor, including windings, exhibits one dynamic temperature.

AC Motors
AC motors include single, multiphase, universal, induction, synchronous, and gear motors. They also include servomotors.  
Brushless Motors
Brushless motors are synchronous electric motors that have a magnetically (AC induction) or electronically (DC) controlled commutation system instead of a brush-based mechanical commutation system.
AC Servomotors
AC servomotors are responsive, high-acceleration motors typically constructed as permanent magnet synchronous motors.
DC Servomotors
DC servomotors are generally small and powerful for their size, and easy to control. Common types of DC servomotors include brushless or gear motors.
