Several years ago, Twin Disc Clutch Company stepped in with the idea of hydraulic torque converters and its capabilities to change the operational methodologies of logging and dirt-moving machinery and other industrial drives. In 1938, the company got succeeded with its first torque converter and its application as a drilling rig. In the later stages, it has changed the lives of much high-machinery equipment. The torque converter plays a significant role … [Read more...]
Repulsion Motor Working and Its Applications
In the previous articles, we have discussed different kinds of motors. This article discusses an overview of repulsion motor and how its principle helps in rotating a motor. This motor is a special type of 1-phase AC motor and working of this can be done by the repulsion of related poles. The stator in the motor supplies 1-phase AC supply & the rotor circuit will be shorted using carbon brush. The classification of these motors can be done under … [Read more...]
What is a Stator : Construction and Its Working
At present, the development in motor performance has been increased, particularly with the enhancement of materials employed in motors. Additionally, improvement in performance is provided with the help of optimization techniques for the stator & rotor. The stator is an essential part of electrical machines that can be found in electric motors, generators, biological rotors, mud motors, and sirens. The flow of energy through a stator will be from the … [Read more...]
Motor Pump : Working and Its Types
Nowadays, life without motor pumps we cannot imagine because they play an essential role in pushing water/liquid from low level to high level, to blow up the bicycle tires otherwise fill gas in your car. So all types of machines from jackhammers to air conditioners, we use pumps to move liquids. The first powered machinery that was invented in the industries was a simple form of motor pump. At present, this was available in a range of types, sizes and used … [Read more...]
Electric Drive Working and Its Applications
When electrical devices like motor or generator are used in any application, we think that the rotation speed of these devices can be controlled only through the supplied voltage as well as the frequency of the current source. However, an electrical machine's rotation speed can be exactly controlled by the ‘drive’ concept. By using this concept, motion control can be simply optimized. Now coming to its history, the first electric drive was invented by … [Read more...]
Types of Electric Motor
We know that electric motors play an essential role in different sectors. At present, there are numerous types of motor available in the market but, these are more different as well as flexible than ever before. The classification of these motors can be done based on its operation and its applications. The main parts of the motors are windings like field winding and armature winding. Motors are the most important machines for motion control systems but its … [Read more...]
Electric Motor : Construction and Its Applications
In an electric motor, the concept of energy conversion was explained by British scientist namely "Michael Faraday" in the year 1821. The main function of the motor is to convert the energy from one form to another. The alteration of energy can be done through a conductor that carries current in a magnetic field. Once the electrical current, as well as a magnetic field, generates the torque then the conductors begin revolving. After that in 1832, the DC … [Read more...]
Universal Motor : Working and its Types
We know that there are different kinds of electric motors available in the market such as single phase, self-starting induction, slip ring, etc. This article discusses a unique kind of electric motor. Imagine an electric motor that works on both AC and DC. This motor is named as a universal motor. As the name suggests, the working ability of this motor mainly depends on AC & DC with related characteristics. This motor also includes a high starting … [Read more...]
Servo Motor – Types and Working Principle
The servo motor is most commonly used for high technology devices in the industrial application like automation technology. It is a self contained electrical device, that rotate parts of a machine with high efficiency and great precision. The output shaft of this motor can be moved to a particular angle. Servo motors are mainly used in home electronics, toys, cars, airplanes, etc.This article discusses about what is a servo motor, servo motor working, … [Read more...]
