Understanding the Armatures, Rotors & Stators Category
The Armatures, Rotors & Stators category (ID 500049) is a specialized classification within the Google product taxonomy. It is located under the Hardware > Power & Electrical Supplies parent category and is used for components that serve as the internal moving or magnetic parts of electric motors and generators.
This category is specifically for replacement parts that drive the internal mechanics of various power tools and machinery. Based on examples from the US market, this includes items such as:
- Replacement armatures for industrial drill sets.
- Rotor assemblies for table saws and heavy-duty power saws.
- Magnetic stators for professional-grade power tools.
- Service armature assemblies for various specialized motors.
Items that do not belong in this category include complete electric motors, which should be placed in Electrical Motors. If you are selling devices that generate electricity, use Generators, and for voltage management components, select Voltage Transformers & Regulators. Carbon brushes and ballasts belong in their own respective categories rather than here. Always avoid placing general hardware or fasteners in this category as Google may incorrectly classify your feed performance.
There are no subcategories for this classification, so you should always assign these specific parts directly to ID 500049.
To include this in your feed, use the numeric ID 500049 or the full path: Hardware > Power & Electrical Supplies > Armatures, Rotors & Stators. While this attribute is optional, providing the exact category ensures that your feed data is processed correctly, avoiding the pitfalls of Google's automated categorization.
