  2. Armature (electrical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armature_(electrical)

    In the armature, an electromotive force is created by the relative motion of the armature and the field. When the machine or motor is used as a motor, this EMF opposes the armature current, and the armature converts electrical power to mechanical power in the form of torque, and transfers it via the shaft. When the machine is used as a ...

  3. Motor unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_unit

    The number of muscle fibers within each unit can vary within a particular muscle and even more from muscle to muscle: the muscles that act on the largest body masses have motor units that contain more muscle fibers, whereas smaller muscles contain fewer muscle fibers in each motor unit. [1]

  4. Armature Controlled DC Motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armature_Controlled_DC_Motor

    Armature control is the most common control technique for DC motors. In order to implement this control, the stator flux must be kept constant. To achieve this, either the stator voltage is kept constant or the stator coils are replaced by a permanent magnet. In the latter case, the motor is said to be a permanent magnet DC motor and is driven ...

  5. Muscle architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_architecture

    Unipennate muscles are those where the muscle fibers are oriented at one fiber angle to the force-generating axis and are all on the same side of a tendon. [1] The pennation angle in unipennate muscles has been measured at a variety of resting length and typically varies from 0° to 30°. [ 1 ]

  6. Motor unit recruitment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_unit_recruitment

    The muscle fibers belonging to one motor unit can be spread throughout part, or most of the entire muscle, depending on the number of fibers and size of the muscle. [2] [3] When a motor neuron is activated, all of the muscle fibers innervated by the motor neuron are stimulated and contract. The activation of one motor neuron will result in a ...

  7. DC motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_motor

    Workings of a brushed electric motor with a two-pole rotor (armature) and permanent magnet stator. "N" and "S" designate polarities on the inside axis faces of the magnets; the outside faces have opposite polarities. The + and -signs show where the DC current is applied to the commutator which supplies current to the armature coils

  8. Reactances of synchronous machines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactances_of_synchronous...

    the steady-state is the normal operating condition with the armature magnetic flux going through the rotor; the sub-transient state (″) is the one the generator enters immediately after the fault (short circuit). In this state the armature flux is pushed completely out of the rotor.

  9. Compensation winding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compensation_Winding

    A compensation winding in a DC shunt motor is a winding in the field pole face plate that carries armature current to reduce stator field distortion.Its purpose is to reduce brush arcing and erosion in DC motors that are operated with weak fields, variable heavy loads or reversing operation such as steel-mill motors.
