  2. DC motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_motor

    A compound DC motor connects the armature and fields windings in a shunt and a series combination to give it characteristics of both a shunt and a series DC motor. [5] This motor is used when both a high starting torque and good speed regulation is needed. The motor can be connected in two arrangements: cumulatively or differentially.

  3. Motorized potentiometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorized_potentiometer

    The M9 Gun Director had a potentiometer controlled by op amps. [5] The Bomben-Abwurfrechner BT-9 has a motor driven potentiometer to convert a pressure into a potentiometer setting. [6] In 1968 a patent was filled describing a motor-potentiometer combination where the motor only engages when energized, allowing manual operation. [7]

  4. Potentiometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potentiometer

    The 'log pot', that is, a potentiometer has a resistance, taper, or, "curve" (or law) of a logarithmic (log) form, is used as the volume control in audio power amplifiers, where it is also called an "audio taper pot", because the amplitude response of the human ear is approximately logarithmic. It ensures that on a volume control marked 0 to 10 ...

  5. Motor constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_constants

    The motor size constant and motor velocity constant (, alternatively called the back EMF constant) are values used to describe characteristics of electrical motors. Motor constant [ edit ]

  6. Tinkercad - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinkercad

    Tinkercad is a free-of-charge, online 3D modeling program that runs in a web browser. [1] Since it became available in 2011 it has become a popular platform for creating models for 3D printing as well as an entry-level introduction to constructive solid geometry in schools.

  7. Rotary encoder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_encoder

    A rotary incremental encoder may use mechanical, optical or magnetic sensors to detect rotational position changes. The mechanical type is commonly employed as a manually operated "digital potentiometer" control on electronic equipment. For example, modern home and car stereos typically use mechanical rotary encoders as volume controls.

  8. Digital potentiometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_potentiometer

    While quite similar to normal potentiometers, digital potentiometers are constrained by current limit in the range of tens of milliamperes. Also, most digital potentiometers limit the voltage range on the two input terminals (of the resistor) to the digital supply range (e.g. 0–5 VDC), so additional circuitry may be required to replace a conventional potentiometer, (although digital ...

  9. Reluctance motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reluctance_motor

    The switched reluctance motor (SRM) is a type of reluctance motor. Unlike brushed DC motors , power is delivered to windings in the stator (case) rather than the rotor . This simplifies mechanical design because power does not have to be delivered to the moving rotor, which eliminates the need for a commutator .
