Which type of motor is NOT used in axis or spindle drives of CNC machine tools?

  • induction motor
  • Bdc servo motor
  • Cstepper motor
  • Dlinear servo motor

Explanation

CNC axis/spindle drives traditionally use motors capable of precise variable-speed/position servo control — DC servo, stepper, and linear servo motors — whereas plain induction motors (constant-speed, no inherent precise positioning capability) are not used for this role.
