Any electric motor is designed to perform mechanical work due to the consumption of electricity applied to it, which is converted, as a rule, into rotational motion. Although in technology there are models that immediately create the translational movement of the working body. They are called linear motors.
In industrial installations, electric motors drive various machines and mechanical devices involved in the technological production process.
Inside household appliances, electric motors operate in washing machines, vacuum cleaners, computers, hair dryers, children's toys, watches and many other devices.
Basic physical processes and operating principle
On moving inside electric charges, which are called electric current, a mechanical force always acts, tending to deflect their direction in a plane located perpendicular to the orientation of the magnetic lines of force. When an electric current passes through a metal conductor or a coil made of it, this force tends to move / rotate each current-carrying conductor and the entire winding as a whole.
The picture below shows a metal frame through which current flows. The magnetic field applied to it creates a force F for each branch of the frame, which creates a rotational movement.
This property of the interaction of electric and magnetic energy based on the creation of an electromotive force in a closed current-carrying circuit is put into operation of any electric motor. Its design includes:
winding through which electric current flows. It is placed on a special core-anchor and fixed in rotation bearings to reduce the counteraction of friction forces. This design is called a rotor;
stator, which creates a magnetic field, which by its own lines of force permeates the electric charges passing through the turns of the rotor winding;
housing for the stator. Inside the housing, special landing sockets are made, inside of which the outer cages of the rotor bearings are mounted.
Simplified, the design of the simplest electric motor can be represented by a picture of the following form.
When the rotor rotates, a torque is created, the power of which depends on the overall design of the device, the magnitude of the applied electrical energy, and its losses during transformations.
The value of the maximum possible torque of the engine is always less than the electrical energy applied to it. It is characterized by the value of the efficiency factor.
Types of electric motors
According to the type of current flowing through the windings, they are divided into DC or DC motors. alternating current. Each of these two groups has a large number of modifications using different technological processes.
Electric motors direct current
They have a stator magnetic field created by permanently fixed or special electromagnets with excitation windings. The armature winding is rigidly mounted in the shaft, which is fixed in bearings and can freely rotate around its own axis.
The principal device of such an engine is shown in the figure.
On the core of the armature made of ferromagnetic materials there is a winding consisting of two parts connected in series, which at one end are connected to conductive collector plates, and at the other end are commutated with each other. Two graphite brushes are located at diametrically opposite ends of the armature and are pressed against the contact pads of the collector plates.
A positive potential of a constant current source is supplied to the lower brush of the pattern, and negative to the upper brush. The direction of the current flowing through the winding is shown by the dotted red arrow.
The current causes the magnetic field of the north pole in the lower left part of the armature, and the south pole in the upper right (gimlet rule). This leads to repulsion of the rotor poles from the stationary ones of the same name and attraction to opposite poles on the stator. As a result of the applied force, a rotational movement occurs, the direction of which is indicated by the brown arrow.
With further rotation of the armature, by inertia, the poles pass to other collector plates. The direction of the current in them is reversed. The rotor continues further rotation.
The simple design of such a collector device leads to large losses of electrical energy. Such motors work in devices of a simple design or toys for children.
DC motors involved in the production process have a more complex design:
the winding is not divided into two, but into more parts;
each winding section is mounted on its own pole;
the collector device is made with a certain number of contact pads according to the number of winding sections.
As a result of this, a smooth connection of each pole through its contact plates to the brushes and the current source is created, and power losses are reduced.
The device of such an anchor is shown in the picture.
With electric DC motors, the direction of rotation of the rotor can be reversed. To do this, it is enough to change the movement of the current in the winding to the opposite by changing the polarity at the source.
AC motors
They differ from previous designs in that the electric current flowing in their winding is described by periodically changing its direction (sign). To power them, the voltage is supplied from generators with a sign-variable value.
The stator of such motors is made by a magnetic circuit. It is made from ferromagnetic plates with grooves into which winding turns are placed with a frame (coil) configuration.
Synchronous motors
The picture below shows working principle of single-phase AC motor with synchronous rotation of the electromagnetic fields of the rotor and stator.
In the grooves of the stator magnetic circuit, at diametrically opposite ends, winding conductors are placed, schematically shown in the form of a frame through which alternating current flows.
Consider the case for the moment of time corresponding to the passage of the positive part of its half-wave.
In the bearing cages, a rotor with a built-in permanent magnet rotates freely, in which the north “N mouth” and the south “S mouth” poles are pronounced. When a positive half-wave of current flows through the stator winding, a magnetic field with poles "S st" and "N st" is created in it.
Interaction forces arise between the magnetic fields of the rotor and the stator (the poles of the same name repel, and the opposite poles attract), which tend to turn the armature of the electric motor from an arbitrary position to the final one, when the opposite poles are as close as possible to each other.
If we consider the same case, but for the moment of time when the reverse - negative half-wave of current flows through the frame conductor, then the rotation of the armature will occur in the opposite direction.
To give continuous movement to the rotor in the stator, not one frame winding is made, but a certain number of them, so that each of them is powered by a separate current source.
Principle of operation three-phase motor alternating current with synchronous rotation electromagnetic fields of the rotor and stator is shown in the following picture.
In this design, three windings A, B and C are mounted inside the stator magnetic circuit, shifted at angles of 120 degrees to each other. Winding A highlighted yellow, B - green, and C - red. Each winding is made with the same frames as in the previous case.
In the picture for each case, the current passes through only one winding in the forward or reverse direction, which is indicated by the "+" and "-" signs.
With the passage of a positive half-wave in phase A in the forward direction, the axis of the rotor field takes a horizontal position because the magnetic poles of the stator are formed in this plane and attract the moving armature. Opposite rotor poles tend to approach the stator poles.
When the positive half-wave goes in phase C, the armature will rotate 60 degrees clockwise. After current is applied to phase B, a similar rotation of the armature will occur. Each next current flow in the next phase of the next winding will rotate the rotor.
If a voltage of a three-phase network shifted along an angle of 120 degrees is brought to each winding, then alternating currents will circulate in them, which will unwind the armature and create its synchronous rotation with the supplied electromagnetic field.
The same mechanical design has been successfully applied in three-phase stepper motor. Only in each winding, with the help of control, DC pulses are supplied and removed according to the algorithm described above.
Their start begins a rotational movement, and the termination at a certain point in time provides a dosed rotation of the shaft and a stop at a programmed angle to perform certain technological operations.
In both described three-phase systems, it is possible to change the direction of rotation of the armature. To do this, you just need to change the phase sequence "A" - "B" - "C" to another, for example, "A" - "C" - "B".
The speed of rotation of the rotor is regulated by the duration of the period T. Its reduction leads to an acceleration of rotation. The amplitude of the current in the phase depends on the internal resistance of the winding and the value of the voltage applied to it. It determines the amount of torque and power of the electric motor.
Asynchronous motors
These motor designs have the same stator magnetic circuit with windings as in the previously considered single-phase and three-phase models. They got their name because of the non-synchronous rotation of the electromagnetic fields of the armature and stator. This was done by improving the configuration of the rotor.
Its core is made of plates of electrical grades of steel with grooves. Aluminum or copper conductors are mounted in them, which are closed by conductive rings at the ends of the armature.
When voltage is applied to the stator windings, an electric current is induced in the rotor winding by an electromotive force and a magnetic field of the armature is created. When these electromagnetic fields interact, the rotation of the motor shaft begins.
With this design, the movement of the rotor is possible only after a rotating electromagnetic field has arisen in the stator and it continues in an asynchronous mode of operation with it.
Asynchronous motors are simpler in design. Therefore, they are cheaper and widely used in industrial installations and household appliances.
Linear motors
Many working bodies of industrial mechanisms perform reciprocating or translational movement in one plane, which is necessary for the operation of metalworking machines, Vehicle, hammer blows when driving piles ...
Moving such a working body with the help of gearboxes, ball screws, belt drives and similar mechanical devices from a rotary electric motor complicates the design. Contemporary technical solution of this problem is the operation of a linear electric motor.
Its stator and rotor are elongated in the form of strips, and not folded into rings, as in rotary electric motors.
The principle of operation is to give a reciprocating linear movement to the runner-rotor due to the transfer of electromagnetic energy from a fixed stator with an open magnetic circuit of a certain length. Inside it, by turning on the current in turn, a traveling magnetic field is created.
It acts on the armature winding with the collector. The forces arising in such an engine move the rotor only in a linear direction along the guide elements.
Linear motors are designed to operate on direct or alternating current, and can operate in synchronous or asynchronous mode.
The disadvantages of linear motors are:
technology complexity;
high price;
low energy performance.

General information.
DC motors, in contrast to AC motors (primarily asynchronous ones), have a large starting torque ratio and overload capacity, and provide smooth control of the working machine speed. Therefore, they are used to drive machines and mechanisms with difficult starting conditions (for example, as starters in internal combustion engines), as well as, if necessary, to control the rotational speed over a wide range (machine tool feed mechanisms, running-brake stands, electrified vehicles).
Structurally, the engine consists of a fixed unit (inductor) and a rotating unit (armature). Excitation windings are located on the magnetic circuit of the inductor. There are two of them in a mixed excitation motor: parallel with pins Sh 1 and Sh2 and serial with pins C1 and C2 (Fig. 6.2). The resistance of the parallel winding R ovsh is, depending on the engine power, from several tens to hundreds of ohms. It is made with small wire a large number turns. The series winding has a low resistance R obc (usually from a few ohms to fractions of an ohm), because consists of a small number of turns of wire of a large cross section. The inductor serves to create a magnetic excitation flux when its windings are powered by direct current.
The armature winding is placed in the grooves of the magnetic circuit and brought to the collector. With the help of brushes, its conclusions I I and I 2 are connected to a direct current source. The resistance of the armature winding R I is small (Ohms or fractions of an Ohm).
The torque M of a DC motor is created by the interaction of the armature current Ia with the excitation magnetic flux Ф:
M \u003d K × Ia × F, (6.1)
where K is a constant coefficient depending on the design of the engine.
When the armature rotates, its winding crosses the excitation magnetic flux and an EMF E is induced in it, proportional to the rotation frequency n:
E \u003d C × n × F, (6.2)
where C is a constant factor depending on the design of the engine.
Armature current:
I I \u003d (U - E) / (R I + R OBC) \u003d (U - C × n × F) / (R I + R OBC), (6.3)
Solving together expressions 6.1 and 6.3 with respect to n, they find an analytical expression for the mechanical characteristics of the engine n = F (M). Her graphic image shown in Figure 6.1.
Rice. 6.1. Mechanical characteristics of a mixed-excitation DC motor
Point A corresponds to the engine idling with a speed of rotation n o. With an increase in the mechanical load, the rotational speed decreases, and the torque increases, reaching the nominal value M H at point B. In the BC section, the engine is operating with overload. The current Iya exceeds the nominal value, which leads to a rapid heating of the armature windings and the OBC, and the sparking on the collector increases. The maximum moment M max (point C) is limited by the operating conditions of the collector and the mechanical strength of the engine.
Continuing the mechanical characteristic until it intersects at point D "with the torque axis, we would get the value of the starting torque when the motor is directly connected to the network. EMF E is zero and the current in the armature circuit, in accordance with formula 6.3, increases sharply.
To reduce the starting current, a starting rheostat Rx (Fig. 6.2) with resistance is connected in series to the armature circuit:
Rx = U H / (1.3...2.5) ×I Ya.N. - (R I - R obc), (6.4)
where U h - rated voltage of the network;
I Ya.N. - rated armature current.
Armature current reduction to (1.3...2.5)×I Ya.N. provides sufficient initial starting torque Mn (point D). As the engine accelerates, the resistance Rx is reduced to zero, maintaining an approximately constant value of Mp (SD section).
The rheostat R B in the circuit of the parallel excitation winding (Fig. 6.2) allows you to adjust the magnitude of the magnetic flux Ф (formula 6.1). Before starting the engine, it is completely removed to obtain the required starting torque at a minimum armature current.
Using formula 6.3, we determine the engine speed
n = (U - I I (R I + R obc + Rx)) / (С Ф), (6.5)
in which R I, R obc and C are constants, and U, I I and F can be changed. From this follows three possible ways engine speed control:
Change in the magnitude of the input voltage;
By changing the value of the armature current using the adjusting rheostat Rx, which, unlike the starting one, is calculated for continuous operation;
By changing the magnitude of the excitation magnetic flux F, which is proportional to the current in the OVSH and OVSS windings. In a parallel winding, it can be adjusted with a rheostat R b. The resistance R b is taken depending on the required speed control limits R B =(2...5) R obsh.
The rating plate of the motor indicates the rated speed, which corresponds to the rated power on the motor shaft at the rated mains voltage and the output resistances of the rheostats R X and R B .

Basic theoretical provisions
A DC electric motor is an electrical machine designed to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy.
The device of the DC motor is no different from the DC generator. This circumstance makes DC electrical machines reversible, that is, it allows them to be used both in generator and motor modes. Structurally, a DC motor has fixed and movable elements, which are shown in Fig. 1.
Fixed part - stator 1 (frame) is made of cast steel, consists of main 2 and additional 3 poles with excitation windings 4 and 5 and a brush traverse with brushes. The stator performs the function of a magnetic circuit. With the help of the main poles, a magnetic field that is constant in time and immobile in space is created. Additional poles are placed between the main poles and improve switching conditions.
The movable part of the DC motor is the rotor 6 (armature), which is placed on a rotating shaft. The armature also plays the role of a magnetic circuit. It is made of thin, electrically isolated from each other, thin sheets of electrical steel with a high silicon content, which reduces power losses. Windings 7 are pressed into the armature grooves, the leads of which are connected to collector plates 8, placed on the same motor shaft (see Fig. 1).
Consider the principle of operation of a DC motor. Connecting a constant voltage to the terminals of an electrical machine causes the simultaneous occurrence in the excitation (stator) windings and in the current armature windings (Fig. 2). As a result of the interaction of the armature current with the magnetic flux created by the field winding, a force arises in the stator f, determined by Ampère's law . The direction of this force is determined by the rule of the left hand (Fig. 2), according to which it is oriented perpendicular to both the current i(in the armature winding), and to the magnetic induction vector IN(created by the excitation winding). As a result, a pair of forces acts on the rotor (Fig. 2). The force acts on the upper part of the rotor to the right, on the lower part - to the left. This pair of forces creates a torque, under the action of which the armature is driven into rotation. The magnitude of the emerging electromagnetic moment turns out to be equal to
M = c m I I F,
Where With m - coefficient depending on the design of the armature winding and the number of poles of the electric motor; F- magnetic flux of one pair of main poles of the electric motor; I I - motor armature current. As follows from Fig. 2, the rotation of the armature windings is accompanied by a simultaneous change in polarity on the collector plates. The direction of the current in the turns of the armature winding changes to the opposite, but the magnetic flux of the excitation windings retains the same direction, which causes the direction of forces to remain unchanged. f, and hence the torque.
The rotation of the armature in a magnetic field leads to the appearance of an emf in its winding, the direction of which is already determined by the right hand rule. As a result, for the one shown in Fig. 2 configurations of fields and forces in the armature winding, an induction current will occur, directed opposite to the main current. Therefore, the emerging EMF is called counter-EMF. Its value is
E = With e nФ,
Where n- frequency of rotation of the armature of the electric motor; With e is a coefficient depending on the structural elements of the machine. This EMF degrades the performance of the motor.
The current in the armature creates a magnetic field that affects the magnetic field of the main poles (stator), which is called the armature reaction. In the idle mode of the machine, the magnetic field is created only by the main poles. This field is symmetrical about the axes of these poles and coaxial with them. When connected to a load motor, due to the current in the armature winding, a magnetic field is created - the armature field. The axis of this field will be perpendicular to the axis of the main poles. Since the current distribution in the armature conductors remains unchanged during the rotation of the armature, the armature field remains stationary in space. The addition of this field to the field of the main poles gives the resulting field, which unfolds through an angle against the direction of armature rotation. As a result, the torque decreases, since part of the conductors enters the zone of the pole of opposite polarity and creates a braking torque. In this case, the brushes spark and the collector burns, a longitudinal demagnetizing field arises.
In order to reduce the influence of the armature reaction on the operation of the machine, additional poles are built into it. The windings of such poles are connected in series with the main winding of the armature, but a change in the direction of winding in them causes the appearance of a magnetic field directed against the magnetic field of the armature.
To change the direction of rotation of a DC motor, it is necessary to change the polarity of the voltage supplied to the armature or field winding.
Depending on the method of switching on the excitation winding, DC motors are distinguished with parallel, series and mixed excitation.
For motors with parallel excitation, the winding is designed for the full voltage of the supply network and is connected in parallel with the armature circuit (Fig. 3).
A motor with series excitation has a field winding that is connected in series with the armature, so this winding is designed for the full armature current (Fig. 4).
Motors with mixed excitation have two windings, one is connected in parallel, the other is connected in series with an armature (Fig. 5).
Rice. 3 Fig. 4
When starting DC motors (regardless of the method of excitation) by direct connection to the supply network, significant starting currents occur, which can lead to their failure. This occurs as a result of the release of a significant amount of heat in the armature winding and the subsequent violation of its insulation. Therefore, the start-up of DC motors is carried out by special starting devices. In most cases, for these purposes, the simplest starting device is used - a starting rheostat. The process of starting a DC motor with a starting rheostat is shown using the example of a DC motor with parallel excitation.
Based on the equation compiled in accordance with the second Kirchhoff law for the left side electrical circuit(see Fig. 3), the starting rheostat is fully withdrawn ( R start = 0), armature current
,
Where U- voltage supplied to the electric motor; R i is the resistance of the armature winding.
At the initial moment of starting the electric motor, the armature speed n= 0, therefore, the counter-electromotive force induced in the armature winding, in accordance with the expression obtained earlier, will also be equal to zero ( E= 0).
Armature winding resistance R i is quite small. In order to limit the unacceptably large current in the armature circuit during start-up, a starting rheostat is switched on in series with the armature, regardless of the method of excitation of the engine (starting resistance R start). In this case, the armature starting current
.
Starting rheostat resistance R the start is calculated for operation only for the start time and is selected in such a way that the starting current of the motor armature does not exceed the allowable value ( I i, start 2 I i, nom). As the electric motor accelerates, the EMF induced in the armature winding due to an increase in its rotation frequency n increases ( E=With e nФ). As a result of this, the armature current, ceteris paribus, decreases. In this case, the resistance of the starting rheostat R start as the motor armature accelerates, it must be gradually reduced. After the end of the acceleration of the motor to the nominal value of the armature speed, the EMF increases so much that the starting resistance can be reduced to zero, without the danger of a significant increase in the armature current.
So the starting resistance R starting in the armature circuit is necessary only at start-up. During normal operation of the electric motor, it must be turned off, firstly, because it is designed for short-term operation during start-up, and secondly, if there is a starting resistance, thermal power losses equal to R start I 2 I, significantly reducing the efficiency of the electric motor.
.
Taking into account the expression for the EMF ( E=With e nФ), writing the resulting formula for the rotation frequency, we obtain the equation for the frequency (speed) characteristic of the electric motor n(I I):
.
It follows from it that in the absence of a load on the shaft and the armature current I I = 0 rotational speed of the electric motor at a given value of the supply voltage
.
Motor speed n 0 is the ideal idle speed. In addition to the parameters of the electric motor, it also depends on the value of the input voltage and magnetic flux. With a decrease in the magnetic flux, other things being equal, the rotational speed of an ideal idle speed increases. Therefore, in the event of an open circuit of the excitation winding, when the excitation current becomes zero ( I c = 0), the magnetic flux of the motor is reduced to a value equal to the value of the residual magnetic flux F rest. In this case, the engine “goes into overdrive”, developing a speed much higher than the nominal one, which poses a certain danger both for the engine and for the maintenance personnel.
Frequency (speed) characteristic of a DC motor with parallel excitation n(I i) at a constant value of the magnetic flux F=const and a constant value of the input voltage U = const looks like a straight line (Fig. 6).
Expressing in the equations of frequency characteristics the armature current through the electromagnetic torque of the motor M =With m I I F, we obtain the equation of the mechanical characteristic, i.e., the dependences n(M) at U = const for motors with parallel excitation:
.
Neglecting the influence of the armature reaction in the process of changing the load, it is possible to accept the electromagnetic torque of the motor as proportional to the armature current. Therefore, the mechanical characteristics of DC motors have the same form as the corresponding frequency characteristics. The shunt motor has a rigid mechanical characteristic (Fig. 7). From this characteristic it can be seen that its rotational speed decreases slightly with increasing load torque, since the excitation current when the excitation winding is connected in parallel and, accordingly, the magnetic flux of the motor remain practically unchanged, and the resistance of the armature circuit is relatively small.
The performance characteristics of a parallel-excited DC motor are shown in fig. 8. From these characteristics it can be seen that the rotational speed n motors with parallel excitation with increasing load decreases somewhat. The dependence of the useful moment on the motor shaft on the power R 2 is an almost straight line, since the moment of this motor is proportional to the load on the shaft: M=kP 2 / n. The curvature of this dependence is explained by a slight decrease in the rotational speed with increasing load.
At R 2 = 0 the current consumed by the electric motor is equal to the no-load current. With an increase in power, the armature current increases approximately according to the same dependence as the load torque on the shaft, since under the condition F=const the armature current is proportional to the load torque. The efficiency of an electric motor is defined as the ratio of the useful power on the shaft to the power consumed from the network:
,
Where R 2 - useful shaft power; R 1 =UI- power consumed by the electric motor from the supply network; R ey = I 2 i R i - electrical power losses in the armature circuit, R ev = UI in, = I 2 in R V - electrical power losses in the excitation circuit; R fur - mechanical power loss; R m - power losses due to hysteresis and eddy currents.
With a constant supply voltage and a constant magnetic flux, in the process of changing the resistance value of the armature circuit, a family of mechanical characteristics can be obtained, for example, for an electric motor with parallel excitation (Fig. 9).
The advantage of the considered method of regulation lies in its relative simplicity and the ability to obtain a smooth change in the rotational speed over a wide range (from zero to the nominal value of the frequency n nom). The disadvantages of this method include the fact that there are significant power losses in the additional resistance, which increase with decreasing speed, as well as the need to use additional control equipment. In addition, this method does not allow you to adjust the speed of the motor up from its nominal value.
Changes in the speed of the DC motor can also be achieved as a result of changing the value of the excitation magnetic flux. When changing the magnetic flux in accordance with the frequency response equation for DC motors with parallel excitation at a constant value of the supply voltage and a constant value of the resistance of the armature circuit, a family of mechanical characteristics can be obtained, shown in fig. 10.
The disadvantages of this method should also include a relatively small range of regulation due to the presence of restrictions on the mechanical strength and switching of the electric motor. The advantage of this control method is its simplicity. For engines with parallel excitation, this is achieved by changing the resistance of the regulating rheostat R R in the excitation circuit.
For DC motors with series excitation, a change in the magnetic flux is achieved by shunting the excitation winding with a resistance of an appropriate value, or by short-circuiting a certain number of turns of the excitation winding.
Widespread use, especially in electric drives built according to the generator-motor system, has received a method of speed control by changing the voltage at the motor armature clamps. With a constant magnetic flux and armature circuit resistance, a family of frequency responses can be obtained as a result of changing the armature voltage.
With a change in the input voltage, the ideal idle speed n 0 in accordance with the expression given earlier, varies in proportion to the voltage. Since the resistance of the armature circuit remains unchanged, the stiffness of the family of mechanical characteristics does not differ from the stiffness of the natural mechanical characteristic at U=U nom.
The advantage of the considered method of regulation is a wide range of speed changes without increasing power losses. The disadvantages of this method include the fact that this requires a source of regulated supply voltage, and this leads to increase in weight, dimensions and cost of the installation.

This is perhaps the most uncomplicated work for the 8th grade course. You just need to connect the motor model to a current source, see how it works, and remember the names of the main parts of the electric motor (armature, inductor, brushes, half rings, winding, shaft).
The electric motor offered to you by the teacher may be similar to the one shown in the figure, or it may have a different look, since there are many options for school electric motors. This is not of fundamental importance, since the teacher will probably tell in detail and show how to handle the model.
We list the main reasons that a properly connected electric motor does not work. Open circuit, lack of contact between the brushes and half rings, damage to the armature winding. If in the first two cases you are quite capable of coping on your own, in the event of a winding break, you need to contact the teacher. Before turning on the engine, make sure that its armature can rotate freely and nothing interferes with it, otherwise, when turned on, the electric motor will emit a characteristic buzz, but will not rotate.
