Motors Definition and 325 Threads

hi people, Im getting a motor but can't decide between baldor or leeson so Id figure I might try to ask here: Single HP 1725 or 1800 RPM Three Phase TEFC preferred 56C frame size Is just one of the brand names preferred with a smaller motor? III be shipping this to my place back home, when I...

I have built a rear wheel electric with two motors one for each rear wheel. The motors have separate controllers and both are controlled by a single throttle. This throttle sets a torque for the motors . In a straight line the torque is the same for each but when cornering the torque setting is...

This is my first post, so please excuse any mistakes I might make. Sorry in advance. First and foremost, if anyone thinks I am being unsafe in any way, please let me know. I like to do things hands-on. I learn best that way, but I want to be safe. I am a budding electrical engineering student...

Hello, I want to know determining the number of poles by inspecting coils inside the motor. Generally, there are formulas allowing us to plug a frequency, an rpm, and give off the number of poles, or we can just simply look at its nameplate. My reason for needing the inspecting is that my...

Question: What parameters are needed to have no slippage between 2 small drive wheels and the bowl? Startup of the system is obviously the moment where there is the greatest chance of slippage. As in the illustration above this is a possible layout of a device for rotating a large bowl...

"A Faraday cage or Faraday shield is an enclosure formed by conductive material or by a mesh of such material. Such an enclosure blocks external static and non-static electric fields by channeling electricity along and around, but not through, the mesh, providing constant voltage on all sides of...

When current flows through the armature winding of a dc motor, what exactly happens in there that produces the torque? Is there a force due to the interaction between two magnetic fields or Lorentz force acts on the conductor electrons? Basically, why does motoring effect take place? Is it due...

hello, I have a car robot with 2 motors which follows a black line. I want to save the track which the car follows. I can get the speed of each motor every. I thought about saving the 2 motor speeds every 100msec and then figure from this the track. Any ideas how I can do it?

Why are synchronous motors reactance grounded and not resistance grounded like in alternators?

Hi Suppose I have three motors connected to a single busbar which is fed by a single transformer and suppose that the current into the busbar (i.e. the total current of the transformer secondary) is known. If I wish to calculate the transformer voltage drop the I will obviously need the load...

Yes I now a DC motor is for DC (lol) but I don't understand why do they change rotation 50-60 times per second (vibrate) when connected to AC, I though that, like AC or Universal motors, the alternating current would "replace" the commutator? Thank you :)

Homework Statement I changed the problem, because I understood my error I forgot a force. It's the same problem with one motor. A motor drives two disks on a support. The support is turning clockwise at w1. Disks turn at w at start. The motor M gives a force F and a counterclockwise torque...

Hi guys I hope you have time to take a look at my calculation and tell me if this is possible to achieve. I have to make a project, where I have to rotate an object which will resist more and more to the rotation. The protocol is: Rotate the object with a torque of 5 Nm until the resistance...

anybody know anything about stabilization systems? I posted the question "Servo vs. Stepper motor for stabilization" before, and I eventually learned that stepper motor draw power while holding position, which servos do not, so I was fixated on servos for a while. Then I started realizing how...

How can velocity uniformity in dynamos and motors be explained? What's the mechanism of that happening ? I'm aware that Newton's first law is involved in that situation where an equal and opposite torque must act on the coil during its rotation so the net torque is Zero and the coil keeps...

Axial flux alternator is an easy to make pancake of stationary coils between spinning permanent magnets. Having made one and played with it, i ended up with a few questions. Would it make a good motor? There are axial flux motors for sale, and my alternator spins nicely when hooked up to a...

Hi guys, I have 2 mini motors and a set of worm gear. I would like to know how to build a system that can make use of the torque from both motors at the same time so that I can double the torque without losing speed. thank you

a. the commutator b. the brushes c. the field d. the armature I know this is a basic question, its off an old exam paper I am looking at. I think its the brushes because if it doesn't have brushes, then its a brushless dc motor, which isn't basic right? Thanks for your help! :shy:

I want to turn an axle or a wheel using multiple motors. With a single motor, sometimes the power is not enough. Is there any method to use two or more motors independently driving the same axle or wheel ? The idea is to have contributions from all the motors so that the axle or the wheel gets...

Do all electric motor's follow Faraday's law and Lorentz? Is it safe to say generalize that statement?

Hello all, I'm a mechanical engineer who recently recently became interested in linear motors and generators (random, i know). I've narrowed my interest to tubular linear permanent magnet motors (servo types) such as the ones made by these people...

Greetings, everyone! A couple of my friends and i started work on a project regarding VTOL aircraft design. We are interested in the concept of propelling the air vehicle via propellers rotated by electric motors. As all of us, have relatively limited knowledge on electrical...

Hi: My friend told me that stepper motors use the most power when not being used, is it true? if so, why? thank you

Hi everyone, I'm looking to create a circuit where an infrared detector is located above the edge of a small wooden disk with an infrared light also on its edge. I want to wire this up so that while the detector does not see the light, power is supplied to a motor that will turn the small...

hello I am really new to engineering. i know the rock bottom basics of these stuff but really rock bottom. i have a couple of questions regarding electric motors: 1)torque- what makes a motor have more torque? 2)rpm- what does that effect? and if I am not mistaken higher...

Homework Statement hello everyone I'm a little confused with the whole 3- phase system. for example: I tried solving using differenet methods we were taught, but every way i try i get a different result. For example: 1) I thought that the wattmeter will measure the Real Power of a...

I understand the basic gist of the whole DC brushless motor, but I don't understand why there needs to be a sensor. Why can't the controller just alternate between phases at a constant rate? What I mean is that if there are a fixed number of ways the coils can be charged, why not just alternate...

Hello all, thanks for reading. I'm in the process of designing a machine that will move a hall effect sensor in 3 dimensions through a magnetic field and record readings. Before I started the design however, I wanted to see if there would be huge problems in how I envision this machine...
