Motors
Endshield
Electrical equipment; Motors
The part of the motor housing which supports the bearing and acts as a protective guard to the electrical and rotating parts inside the motor. This part is frequently called the "end bracket" or "end ...
Armature reaction
Electrical equipment; Motors
The current that flows in the armature winding of a DC motor tends to produce magnetic flux in addition to that produced by the field current. This effect, which reduces the torque capacity, is ...
Constant speed
Electrical equipment; Motors
A DC motor which changes speed only slightly from a no load to a full load condition. In AC motors, these are synchronous motors.
Core
Electrical equipment; Motors
The iron portion of the stator and rotor; made up of cylindrical laminated electric steel. The stator and rotor cores are concentric separated by an air gap, with the rotor core being the smaller of ...
Counter electromotive force(CEMF)
Electrical equipment; Motors
The induced voltage in a motor armature, caused by conductors moving through or "cutting" field magnetic flux. This induced voltage opposes the armature current and tends to reduce it.
Couplings
Electrical equipment; Motors
The mechanical connector joining the motor shaft to the equipment to be driven.
Current
Electrical equipment; Motors
The time rate of flow of electrical charge and is measured in amps (amperes).
