German term

Laufmotoren

German to English Tech/Engineering Electronics / Elect Eng
Das modulare Konzept ermöglicht die Anbindung von Laufmotoren.

This appears in an information sheet on classroom equipment to run various experiments in vehicle electronics. I am finding translations for "Umlaufmotor," but this seems to be different.
Proposed translations (English)

neutral Tom Feise : as opposed to schrittmotor = stepping motor this would be OK, laufmotor is just any old running motor (not stepping or multi-phase)

2 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thank you for the input; I guess this term does not inspire many ideas. It looks like "operating motor" will work in this context, or maybe just "motor" (still a few days before the translation is due...)."
