15
Q

What causes brush drag and what is it

A

The sliding contact of the commutator or frictional forces, which is the unavoidable result of dragging one material over another. Overcoming these forces requires torque that is no longer available to do work.

17
Q

What causes brush bounce and whats the effects

A

When the brushes get worn down they are not able to maintain good electrical contact because of brush bounce. This limits max speed. It is a consequence of the brushes and springs making a dynamic system

18
Q

What is a some solution to brush bounce and its downfall

A

Increasing the spring force on the brushes to the commutator but increases wear

19
Q

What pros and cons of brushes made of graphite

A

Relatively high electrical resistance (1-10 ohms) , physically dirty , casts off particles as wear creating dust

20
Q

Why is the brush-commutator interface electrically noisy

A

Connections to individual coils in the armature are continuously made and broken. These can be a significant source of electromagnetic interference (EMI)

21
Q

What three basic electrical components can a permanent magnet brushed DC motor be modelled as

A

A resistor as a result of the finite resistance per unit length of the wire used to construct the coils in the
, an inductor as the result of coils of wire that make up the armature windings,
a source of EMF

22
Q

How is torque generated by a permanent magnet DC motor

A

Result of the current flowing in the armature coils in the presence of the stators magnetic field

23
Q

What is the effect of torque generated by a permanent magnet DC motor known as

A

Lorentz force law

24
Q

What is faradays law

A

Describes the result of moving a coil of wire through an external magnetic field and a voltage is generated

25
Q

How is back emf induced

A

The armature is spinning inside the field created by the stator, this induces a voltage (back EMF) across the coil as it spins. This voltage is opposed to the voltage placed across the coil that made the motor spin.

26
Q

The magnitude of the back EMF is related to the rotational speed through a constant Ke called the speed constant, what is the units for Ke

A

E=Ke x w

27
Q

What factors affect the value of Ke

A

Construction, geometry, and material properties of the motor

28
Q

What is kirchoffs law for steady state current flow

A

V = IR + Ke . w

29
Q

when is current and torque a maximum

A

when w is zero

this is the stall torque

30
Q

when does the motor stall

A

when the motor is attempting to spin or move against a force that exceeds the amount of torque it can generally internally

stall torque occurs any time the motor starts from a stop

31
Q

what is mechanical power defined as

A

P = Tw

32
Q

when is max power output for a permanent magnet brushed DC motor

A

when T = 1/2Tstall

33
Q

what is efficiency of the motor

A

as the ratio of mechanical power produced by the motor to electrical power consumed by the motor

34
Q

what is the efficiency equation

A

n = P out/P in = Tw/VI

35
Q

where is the desirable region to operate a DC motor in

A

between the point of maximum efficiency and the point of maximum power

36
Q

why is high speed/low torque operation inefficient

A

dominated by friction therefore not efficient

37
Q

why is low speed/high current operation inefficient

A

dominated by I^2R losses through heating of the coils

38
Q

what is the gear ratio

A

Gear Ratio = N = win/wout

39
Q

why is a gearhead (gearbox) used in DC Motors

A

the most efficient operating currents lie above no-load current and below condition for maximum power, 1/2Tstall

this region is especially desirable if a motor is to be in a high duty cycle or continuous use, as most motors aren’t rated for long periods of high torque output the coils in the armature will increase temp and eventually fail.

Given most motors have output shaft speeds of several thousand rpm and little torque near the point of max efficiency, many applications require substantially lower speeds and higher torques which can be provided by the gearhead.

40
Q

what is gearhead effciency

A

n=Pout/Pin = Tout . Wout / Tin.Win

41
Q

what is the avaidable torque at the output shaft of a gearbox

A

Tout = n.Tin.N
