Throttle Motor

A throttle motor is an electric motor used to control the throttle valve in an engine, typically found in modern vehicles and machinery with electronic throttle control (ETC) systems. It adjusts the throttle position based on input from the engine control unit (ECU) or driver commands, regulating the amount of air entering the engine. This precise control enables smoother acceleration, improved fuel efficiency, and reduced emissions. Throttle motors are commonly used in automotive applications, including cars, trucks, and motorcycles, and are an integral part of the drive-by-wire system, replacing traditional mechanical linkages with electronic controls.
