Electrical equipment; Motors

The rotating member of the motor which protrudes past the bearings for attachment to the driven apparatus.

Shunt wound dc motors

Electrical equipment; Motors

Integral-horsepower shunt motors, are used where the primary load requirements are for minimum speed variation from full-load to no-load and/or constant horsepower over an adjustable speed range at ...

Skew

Electrical equipment; Motors

Arrangement of laminations on a rotor or armature to provide a slight angular pattern of their slots with respect to the shaft axis. This pattern helps to eliminate low speed cogging effects in an ...

Sleeve bearings

Electrical equipment; Motors

A type of bearing with no rolling elements, where the motor shaft rides on a film of oil.

BRUSH

Electrical equipment; Motors

A piece of current conducting material (usually carbon or graphite) which rides directly on the commutator of a commutated motor and conducts current from the power supply to the armature windings.

C flange

Electrical equipment; Motors

A type of flange used with close coupled pumps, speed reducers, and similar applications where the mounting holes in the f flange are threaded to receive bolts. Normally the "C" Flange is used where ...
