Barbing Facts

The speed of the blades is advantageous to smooth hair cutting. The downside of this motor is it can cause heat on the clipper because blades are running fast that cause friction. This is suitable for dry hair and good for occasional use.

Most clippers with magnetic motors have standard blade adjustment from 000 to 1.

2. Pivot Motor

While magnetic motor runs blades fast, Pivot motor does the average speed of the blade but it has a higher force. Thus, it is best for thick and heavy hair.

Unlike Magnetic motor, you can slowly move the clipper while cutting thick and heavy hair since blades run at a slower speed.

Barbing Facts

The slower speed of the blade does not make the clipper hot because there is less friction. This is an advantage for the clipper with pivot motor to cut thick hair precisely. This type of motor is lighter than Magnetic motor.

3. Rotary Motor

Most expensive hair clippers available use rotary motor for its silent and heavy duty. The motor classifies its higher torque and but slower blade speed compared to Pivot motor.

This is a widely used motor for hair clippers especially design for simultaneous cutting and professional use. This is the most powerful among the three motor types.

This is best used for wet and thicker hair and also for bulk cutting thus making this motor versatile.
