A drive is an electronic device that is used to control the speed and torque of an electric motor. It can vary the voltage and frequency supplied to the motor, which in turn controls the speed and torque of the motor. A drive can be used to adjust the speed of a motor to match the requirements of a specific application.
A motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Motors are used to power a wide range of equipment and machines, including fans, pumps, conveyors and industrial machinery. Motors can be either alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC) and can be further categorized into different types, such as induction motor, synchronous motor, stepper motor etc.
