Leeson 108053.00 C4D17FK9 DC motor provides consistent speed across a wide range, aiding in accurate positioning and process control. This motor is ideal for battery-operated vehicles and medical equipment. It finds its utility in conveyor systems, robotics and machine tools due to its adjustable performance characteristics.
Working Mechanism:
- When current flows through the coils of the motor, it generates a magnetic field. The armature, with its own set of coils, is positioned within this field. The commutator and brushes ensure the direction of current in the armature coils changes as it rotates, creating a continuous rotational motion.
- This motion is driven by the interaction between the magnetic field of the stator and the magnetic field produced by the armature's current. The controlled flow of current through the armature allows for precise speed and torque regulation, making it ideal for applications requiring variable speed and controlled movement.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. How does a direct current motor achieve speed control?
A. Speed control is achieved by adjusting the voltage supplied to the motor. Lower voltage results in slower speeds, while higher voltage increases speed.
Q. Can the motor direction be easily reversed?
A. Yes, by changing the polarity of current flow through the armature coils, the motor's rotation direction can be reversed.
Q. What maintenance is required for this motor?
A. Regular inspection of the brushes and commutator is recommended to ensure smooth operation. Brush replacement might be necessary over time.
