A stepper motor, also known as step motor or stepping motor, [1] is a brushless DC electric motor that rotates in a series of small and discrete angular steps. [2] Stepper motors can be set to any given step position without needing a position sensor for feedback. The step position can be rapidly increased or decreased to create continuous ...
A reluctance motor is a type of electric motor that induces non-permanent magnetic poles on the ferromagnetic rotor. The rotor does not have any windings. It generates torque through magnetic reluctance. Reluctance motor subtypes include synchronous, variable, switched and variable stepping.
Synchronous motor and induction motor stators are similar in construction. [27] The construction of synchronous motor is similar to that of a synchronous alternator. [28] The stator frame contains wrapper plate (except for wound-rotor synchronous doubly fed electric machines). Circumferential ribs and keybars are attached to the wrapper plate.
The ULN2003A is an integrated circuit produced by Texas Instruments. It consists of an array of seven NPN Darlington transistors capable of 500 mA, 50 V output. It features common-cathode flyback diodes for switching inductive loads (such as servomotors). It can come in PDIP, SOIC, SOP or TSSOP packaging.
Lavet-type stepping motor of a quartz clock. A black rotor sprocket provides the mechanical output. The Lavet-type stepping motor has widespread use as a drive in electro-mechanical clocks [1] and is a special kind of single-phase stepping motor. Both analog and stepped-movement quartz clocks use the Lavet-type stepping motor (see Quartz clock).
In vector control, an AC induction or synchronous motor is controlled under all operating conditions like a separately excited DC motor. [21] That is, the AC motor behaves like a DC motor in which the field flux linkage and armature flux linkage created by the respective field and armature (or torque component) currents are orthogonally aligned such that, when torque is controlled, the field ...
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 .
To translate this model to a rotating motor, one can simply attribute an arbitrary diameter to the motor armature e.g. 2 m and assume for simplicity that all force is applied at the outer perimeter of the rotor, giving 1 m of leverage.
