The rotor is manufactured from a stack of circular silicon-steel lamination clamped together around a shaft, with open or closed slots running along the length of the rotor through which the rotor conductors ('bars') pass. The rotors are then interconnected at opposite ends with conducting end-rings. In some cases, the rotor bars are poured into the (enclosed) slots as molten metal. If the bars were visible, they would resemble a gerbil's exercise wheel.

What is the useful of open end winding of induction motor?
Standard induction motor has a closed squirrel cage rotor, where as open ended induction motor has split phase rotor.
Disadvantages of a squirrel cage motor?
Squirrel Cage Induction Motor Disadvantages:Some of disadvantages or demerits of squirrel cage induction motors are listed below:Main disadvantage of squirrel cage induction motor is that they have poor starting torque and high starting currents. Starting torque will be in the order of 1.5 to 2 times the full load torque and starting current is as high as 5 to 9 times the full load current. In slip ring induction motors, higher starting torque can be attained by providing an external resistance in the rotor circuits during starting of the slip-ring induction motor. This arrangement in slip-ring induction motors also reduces the high inrush currents during starting of induction motor.Squirrel cage induction motors are more sensitive to the supply voltage fluctuations. When the supply voltage is reduced, induction motor draws more current. During voltage surges, increase in voltage saturates themagnetic components of the squirrel cage induction motor.Speed control is not possible in squirrel cage induction motor. This is one of the major diadvantages of squirrel cage induction motors.The total energy loss during starting of squirrel cage motor is more compared to slip ring motors. This point is significant if the application involves frequent starting
Which motor doesn't have any winding on its rotor?
Squirrel cage induction motors.
What is the use of double cage rotor in induction motor?
to obtain high starting torque
Is three phase induction motor used for hoisting device?
ya three phase squirrel cage induction motor used to hoist travel application in industrial cranes
Can a Squirrel Cage Induction motor can be converted to Slip Ring Induction Motor?
yes
What is squirrel cage induction generator?
Squirrel cage type is a type of Induction motor. It tells that the rotor is "squirrel cage" type. Another type of induction motor is with "slip ring" type of rotor. Squirrel cage type is most widely used Induction motor.
Why is the squirrel cage induction motor one of the most reliable machines in industry?
because the squirrel cage induction motor is cheaper and high starting performance is not required.
Full form of scim and srim in three phase induction motor?

When will a synchornous motor acts as an induction motor?
If there is an extra winding called the "damper winding" in addition to the field winding.Then the synchronous motor will operate as a squirrel cage induction motor.Whats is a damper winding ?A damper winding is made up of copper bars which are placed in the slots in the pole faces of the rotor.These are short circuited with the help of end rings in a squirrel cage induction motor.
Why you use brushes for single phase induction motors?
There no brushes in an induction motor. The rotor is independent and is a short-circuited cage of parallel bars.
