Learn About Different types of motors and their use

Image
You must have observed that while purchasing a  motor base , it’s often asked which technology is better, AC or DC, but the fact behind it is that it is application and cost dependent. AC Motors In many features including speed control, AC motors are highly flexible, and compared to DC motors they have a much larger installed base. A few of its key benefits are: The torque limit needs to be adjustable Controlled acceleration Operational speed should be adjustable Controlled starting current At the start, it demands low power Reduction in power line disturbances There are two types of AC motor: Synchronous The rotation of the rotor is synchronized with the frequency of the supply current in this particular type of motor and under varying loads, the speed remains constant. Hence at a constant speed, it is ideal for driving equipment, and in high precision positioning devices like robots, instrumentation, machines, and process control they are used by many...

Working of Worm Gears and its Uses

Image
For nonparallel, nonintersecting, right angle gear drive system applications where there is a requirement of high transmission gearing ratio, there comes the wide use of worn and wheel gears. worm gearbox and reducers generally give you a more compact solution when you compare them with other gear, belt, and chain transmission elements. In certain configurations, you will observe that a worm and wheel gear set can provide you sufficient high friction to become self-locking which can be an apt feature if a defined position is needed for a gear train if it is not braked or unpowered. With right or left-hand threads and teeth the manufacturing of worms and worm gears is done. The determination of the hand of a worm or worm gear can be done by observing the direction in which the threads or teeth lean when the worm gear has positioned the hole facing upwards. You will find that in the worm and gear there are the same pitch, number of threads, hand, and tooth dimensions. They sho...

Greenhouse Motor and its Benefits

Image
By maximum  greenhouse motor ,  Mechanical torque is developed by the conductors carrying current interaction in a right angle direction at to a magnetic field. You will find a difference in various types of electric motor in how the conductors and the field are arranged and also in the control that is executed over output speed, torque, and position. By alternating (AC) current or direct current (DC) the greenhouse motors are powered. The development of DC motors was done first and has certain advantages and disadvantages. Every motor works differently but all of them utilizes the power of the electromagnetic field. Before moving on to the different types of motors we need to know about the very basic principles of electromagnetic fields in motors. A secondary and primary winding (magnet) is used by AC electric motors, the primary one is attached to AC grid power (or directly to a generator) and is then energized. From the primary, the energy is received by the secondary ...

Get to Know All about Flexible Couplings

Image
Little misalignment can be accommodated in Flexible couplings but as an excuse, it should not be used for poor alignment or no maintenance. On either the motor or the driven load misalignment of  flexible coupling   can lead to excessive force. This can even lead to the failure of other components or huge amounts of vibration. The alignment of the motor and the load should be regularly checked even if flexible couplings are used. Some transmitting power method is needed between the two machines rotating equipment using separate driving and driven machines. With universal joints or coupling of a particular design, this can be a drive shaft. They operate as a single shaft only when two shafts are properly connected by rigid coupling. To general purpose couplings, special purpose couplings are quite similar. They are designed in a way so that they can perform the same functions as general-purpose couplings perform but at higher speeds and horsepower. Between the shafts of...

Learn About the Process of Installing a Bushing

Image
In power transmission bushings like the taper bush is an indispensable component, allowing for a flexible drive system. They make us do modifications quickly and efficiently. Splined or keyless shafts are included in few specialty bushings. Proper installation of a bushing can affect all other components within the drive whether by regular maintenance or the replacement of its companion item. Excessive vibrations, increased run-out, or breakage of the mating part can be caused by incorrect installation, inevitably damaging components and the shaft it engages. How to prepare your bushing It’s necessary to clean all involved parts correctly: OD, the shaft, the bushing bore, as well as the component bore (that of your sprocket or sheave). Bushings work through friction and force as above stated, so on any of these surfaces, foreign matter will inhibit the ability to work correctly. Remove all oil, dust, grease, dirt, and paint. How to install your bushing For proper installation you need...
