The goal of this booklet is to provide a better working knowledge of electric motors and related disciplines. Being better informed provides a better foundation for successful motor and blower replacement. We encourage every service person to take basic precautions for their own safety as well as their customers when installing or servicing motors. Power to the equipment must be disconnected while the unit is being serviced, and all electric motors should be grounded. The National Electrical Code and local electrical and safety regulations should be followed at all times. Keep in mind that even though this booklet provides an abundance of information, there is much more information available on motors from other sources such as your local library. Depending on how much you wish to learn about motors, the library can be an invaluable source for the extended information. The only question is, how much do you want to learn? Have fun. There are several types of fractional horsepower motors. Each type performs certain jobs better than the other types. The characteristics of a motor designed to move air are completely different than those of a motor used to drive a grinder, a pump, or even a belt-driven application.

  • Capacitor-Driven Railgun: Magnetic Fields Doing Work 1 Problem
    Capacitor-Driven Railgun: Magnetic Fields Doing Work Kirk T. McDonald Joseph Henry Laboratories, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544 (December 28, 2015; updated October 13, 2017) 1Problem Discuss force, work and energy in a capacitor-drive railgun, as illustrated on the left below (from [229]),1 and in the original conception due to Amp`ere and de La Rive (1822) [26] as illustrated on the right below.2 Examples like these are used to illustrate the claim that “magnetic forces do no work” [133, 136, 235, 236, 244], which implies that some other force(s) than magnetism are “at work” here. Consider also the variant shown below3 in which the railgun circuit is initially super- conducting with current I0 and fixed (superconducting) crosspiece), but at time t =0the crosspiece goes normal, takes on electrical resistance R,andissetfreetomove.4 1As this note has an historical flavor, it seemed appropriate that the references be listed in chronological order, by date of submission for publication. 2A railgun was patented by Birkeland in 1902 [89, 185]. For another contribution of Birkeland, see [243]. The literature on railguns is now vast. A sample is [135, 218, 237, 245]. 3A railgun was discussed by Maxwell in Arts. 594-596 of [71], as sketched on in the figure on right. 4A simple railgun variant is now featured at sites such as http://sci-toys.com/scitoys/scitoys/electro/railgun/railgun.html In this, the magnetic field that provides the Lorentz force is due to strong permanent magnets that form the wheels of a rolling crosspiece. The direction of the axial field in the two wheels must be opposite (such that a single rolling magnet wouold not suffice).

  • DC Motor and Controller Primer 1 DC Motor and Controller Primer
    DC Motor and Controller Primer 1 DC Motor and Controller Primer Introduction A DC motor is an electric motor that runs on DC current. They are commonly found in applications as diverse as industrial fans, blowers and pumps, machine tools, household appliances, power tools, disk drives, and many more. Choosing a DC motor There are 3 things to consider when choosing a DC motor. • Current Consumption - You need to make sure that the controller you have is capable of providing enough current to drive your motor at its full rated current. • Torque - Choose a motor that has enough torque to accomplish your goal. • Speed - In the case of fans or RC cars you will need to choose a motor that can spin fast enough to be useful. Note that while Phidgets sells several DC Motors [1], if your requirements are not met by any of them you can still use one of our DC Motor Controllers [2] with a motor from a 3rd party. You just need to make sure that the motor's specs are less than or equal to what the motor controller is capable of driving. For example, the 1064 - PhidgetMotorControl HC [3] has a continuous motor current of 14A, and takes a power supply of up to 15V DC. This means that the current ratings for your third-party motors should not add up to more than 14A, and each motor should be rated for no more than 15V DC if you want the advertised torque and speed of the motor. For more information comparing DC motors with stepper motors and servo motors, see the Motor Selection Guide.

  • MOTOR / GENERATOR SET – Hand Driven Cat: EM1758-001 Hand Driven Motor/Generator
    INSTRUCTION SHEET MOTOR / GENERATOR SET – hand driven Cat: EM1758-001 hand driven motor/generator DESCRIPTION: The IEC hand driven Motor / Generator is a precision, ball bearing motor with a 2 pole rotor and a 2 bar commutator. It can be run as a DC motor or it can be hand driven to be a DC generator. All parts of the motor are easily visible and the operation of the commutator and brushes can be studied. The commutator is self-lubricating to avoid squeaking and wear. It is strong and is designed to have a long life in the hands of students. When connected as a generator, an MES lamp is provided to illuminate as power is created. To create the magnetic field through the motor, use the Ucore that forms part of the IEC Electricity Kit EM1763-001, the IEC ‘Hodson” Induction Kit EM1973-001 or the IEC Small Dissectible Transformer EM4089-001. The motor/generator can be used also with permanent magnets.

  • Ball-Bearing Motor Kirk T
    Ball-Bearing Motor Kirk T. McDonald Joseph Henry Laboratories, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544 (May 17, 2011; updated June 1, 2020) 1Problem Discuss the principle of operation of a so-called ball-bearing motor, a popular form of which is sketched below (from [2]).1 The motor can start from rest (although not all observers report this [1]-[24]), and rotates in either sense, if the current (AC or DC!) is large enough. 2Solution The discovery/invention of the ball-bearing motor is attributed to Milroy [1]. It has been discussed several times, with conflicting explanations [2]-[24].2,3 This solution is a much simplified version of that given in [10], and is based on the Lorentz force. 1Numerous videos of variants of this device are available on YouTube. 2Most authors except Marinov [7] suppose the torque to be due to a Lorentz force, whereas he stated (without supporting argument) that the torque results from thermal expansion of the bearings. It is generally agreed that the first attempt at an electromagnetic explanation, [2], was wrong. Also, the explanation in [11] was later retracted by its author. 3Refs. [6, 19, 22, 23] associate ball-bearing motors with the “Huber effect”, after [25]. See also Appendix A below, and [26]-[29]; the last paper reviews the Russian literature on this topic. Huber considered a kind of railgun in which the crosspiece, a sphere or cylinder, rolled along tracks, supposedly propelled by the Lorentz force on the current in the crosspiece. However, [26] reported sparking between the wheels and the rails on the trailing side of the motion, which could imply that thermal effects, rather than the Lorentz force, are important here.
