They are often used in assembly line operations and processes because of their synchronization to the incoming supply 72rpm for 60hz or 60rpm for 50hz.
They have identical construction to 'DC' steppers, also like a stepper they have good holding torque at zero speed and they can be held in position when the AC is removed by injecting a DC voltage into the windings.
