    Hello, what does it mean left and right in these engines
    ENGINE 9V LEFT CCW
    MOTOR 9V RIGHT CW

    It is on this page http://www.magserv.com.pl/index.php?op=1

    Hello!
    (link doesn't work for me)
    It's probably about the rotation of the rotor - Ad.1. - counterclockwise, Ad.2. - clockwise - looking at the motor from the side of the shaft exit.

    Maybe it's about:
    CW - ClockWise - Clockwise
    CCW - Counter ClockWise - Counterclockwise clock.

    I GUESS :D

    I mean, they only spin in one direction?

    this type of motors are commonly used in cassette recorders, they have an internal rotation stabilizer, they rotate only in one direction, of course, after removing the stabilizer or changing the motor connections, they rotate in either direction

    In practice, the difference between such motors lies in the brushes. After changing the polarity, such a motor will rotate in the opposite direction from the recommended one, but the brushes will work "against the grain", which drastically shortens the life of such a motor.

    ... and changes the commutation.

Topic summary

The CCW (Counter ClockWise) and CW (ClockWise) markings on electric motors indicate the direction of rotation when viewed from the shaft exit side. These motors typically rotate in one direction due to internal stabilizers, commonly found in devices like cassette recorders. Changing the motor's polarity can reverse the rotation, but this may lead to increased wear on the brushes and affect commutation, potentially shortening the motor's lifespan.
