In the world of electronics, electric motors are components that cannot be separated.\u00a0This also applies to the automotive world.\u00a0Electric motors can not be separated in a car or motorcycle.\u00a0Examples of the use of electric motors in cars, you can see in\u00a0the starter system\u00a0,\u00a0Cooling Fan\u00a0, and power windows.<\/p>\n

While in general, electric motors will be very easy for us to meet in everyday life.\u00a0For example fans, water pumps, washing machines and blenders.\u00a0So do you know why these objects can rotate?<\/p>\n

Definition of Electric Motors<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Quoted from wikipedia, an electric motor is a device that functions to convert electrical energy into motion energy.\u00a0This tool is a dynamic electric tool because it produces movement.\u00a0The working principle of an electric motor is to utilize magnetic attraction.<\/p>\n

We certainly understand, when two magnets with the same poles are brought closer, these two magnets will move away.\u00a0Conversely, if the magnetic poles are different, they will attract each other.\u00a0This principle is the basis of electric motors.<\/p>\n

\"Definition<\/p>\n

when a bar magnet is placed in a magnetic field it will produce movement on the bar magnet. The rod, the magnet is placed on a shaft with a circuit in such a way that it can produce rotary motion when these two components interact.<\/p>\n

Functions of Each Section<\/h3>\n

1. Stator\/Armature Coil<\/strong><\/p>\n

The stator is the main component of an electric motor.\u00a0Because this component will be in direct contact with the performance of the motor.\u00a0The stator is a static copper winding located around the main shaft.\u00a0The function of the stator is to generate a magnetic field around the rotor.<\/p>\n

This component consists of iron plates wrapped around copper.\u00a0This copper is connected to a current source.\u00a0So that when the winding is electrified, it will cause magnetism in the stator.\u00a0In a motor generally has three stator coils.\u00a0This depends on the capacity of the motor itself of course.\u00a0The more the number of coils, the greater the magnetism produced.\u00a0This of course will affect the speed of the motor.<\/p>\n

However, for mini-sized electric motors, generally they only complement the stator using permanent magnets.\u00a0So that the current used is also lighter.\u00a0So, can permanent magnets be used in large-power electric motors?\u00a0of course you can, but the resulting rounds tend to be small.\u00a0That is why the magnetic coil is the choice so that the output is also satisfactory.<\/p>\n

2. Rotor Coil\/Commutator<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This section also resembles the stator, except that the rotor is a dynamic copper coil.\u00a0Why is it dynamic?\u00a0Because this winding is attached to the main shaft or main shaft of the motor which will rotate.<\/div>\n
as with the stator coil, the more the number of turns on the rotor, the greater the resulting rotation.\u00a0Generally used copper with a small diameter.\u00a0This is intended so that the number of turns is more even though it requires a large wire length.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
end of the winding will be connected to another rotor which is located at the end of the main shaft.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
3.Main Shaft<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The main shaft is a metal component that extends as a place to attach several components.\u00a0In addition to the coil rotor, the component attached to this shaft is the drive pulley.\u00a0Generally the main shaft is made of aluminum which is anti-rust.\u00a0In addition, this component must also be stable at high rotation and temperature.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
4. Brushes<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Brush is a copper brush that will connect the electric current source with the rotor coil.\u00a0This brush is attached to a small rotor which is located at the end of the main rotor.\u00a0The friction that occurs will flow the current in the same direction even though the rotor rotates.\u00a0So that the rotation can be synchronous and continuous.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This friction will be supported by a spring that is located behind the copper brushes.\u00a0This spring will always press the brush so that the brush will always stick to the rotor even though it rotates at high RPM.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In a motor must be equipped with two brushes.\u00a0This brush will supply current and mass for the coil rotor.\u00a0In addition, this component is a popular cause that causes the electric motor to die.\u00a0The scale that sticks to the surface of the brush will cause the flow of current to be obstructed.\u00a0In addition, the condition of the brush, which is worn out due to constant friction, can also hinder the flow of current.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
5. Bearings<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Because this tool generates rotation, special components are needed to be used as bearings so that the rotation takes place smoothly.\u00a0This is the function of the bearing, as a bearing between the shaft surface and the motor housing.\u00a0Bearings are generally made of aluminum which has a light frictional force.\u00a0So it doesn’t hinder the rotation of the motor.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
6. Drive Pulleys<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This component is located at the outer end of the main shaft.\u00a0Its function is to transfer the rotation of the motor to other components.\u00a0These components are generally in the form of gears or pulleys, which are ready to be connected to components that need to be driven by this motor.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
7. Motor Housings<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On the outside of the electric motor we will find an iron plate that is used to protect all the components of the electric motor.\u00a0In addition, the motor housing also functions to protect us as users from very high rotor rotation.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Those are the ins and outs of the electric motor components and their respective functions.\u00a0Hopefully it can add to our knowledge and hopefully useful<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
