The present invention belongs to the technical field of alternating current induction servo motors, and particularly relates to a rotary-type induction servo motor with a constant-output-torque by using uniform magnetic fields and a linear-type induction servo motor with a constant-output-force by using uniform magnetic fields. The present invention has main features that the rotary-type induction servo motor or the linear-type induction servo motor is composed of N independent motor units; each independent motor unit has the same or similar structure, and is powered by single-phase alternating current; and the N independent motor units have an equal voltage magnitude of power supply, but voltage phases are different and form an arithmetic progression. In an independent motor unit of the rotary-type induction servo motor with a constant-output-torque by using uniform magnetic fields, the stator magnetic conductive silicon steel is simple in structure, and the winding manner of stator excitation windings is simple, similar to a multilayer solenoid type; rotor induction excitation windings are powered through induction, and no slip ring and related wearing parts are used. The rotary-type induction servo motor disclosed here can be operated at fixed voltage frequency, and in this case, the output torque and the voltage magnitude of power supply are in direct proportion, so the output torque can be controlled by adjusting the voltage magnitude. The motor does not adopt permanent magnetic materials, and has many merits including simple structure, good torque characteristic, simple controller design and high control precision. And meanwhile, based on the same principle, a linear-type induction servo motor with a constant-output-force by using uniform magnetic fields can be evolved from the rotary-type induction servo motor.
