Le moteur est un électro-aimant. Il transmet le mouvement, souvent à travers une tige-poussoir à un marteau qui décrit un mouvement soit de rotation autour d'un axe fixe, soit de translation. La tige-poussoir permet une implantation aérée des électro-aimants, loin des marteaux et des entraîneurs de papier. Le marteau est ramené à sa position de repos par un ressort de rappel. 4, record 3, French, - %C3%A9lectroaimant
