Electric brush motors and carbon brush motors are two common DC motors, which are widely used in industrial production and daily life. In this paper, we will introduce these two kinds of motors from the working principle, structural characteristics and application areas.
Electric Brush Motor
1. Principle of operation.
Brush motor (Electric Brush Motor )is the use of electromagnetic induction principle. When the power is on, the current of the brush motor through the brush and brush ring, generating a magnetic field. Magnetic field and the rotor on the permanent magnet magnetic field interaction, so that the rotor produces the magnetic field interacts with the magnetic field of the permanent magnets on the rotor, making the rotor produce rotary motion.
2. Structural characteristics.
The main parts of brush motor include stator, rotor, brush and brush ring. The stator is the static part of the motor and the rotor is the rotating part of the motor. Brushes and brush rings are responsible for transmitting current and magnetic field, and they are in constant contact with the rotor during the operation of the motor, so they are easy to wear out.
3. Field of application.
Brush motors are widely used in household electrical appliances, vehicle drive systems, vehicle drive systems and other industries because of their simple structure, low cost, good starting performance and other characteristics,household appliances, vehicle drive systems, industrial automation equipment and other fields. For example, electric tools, washing machines, hoovers and other home appliances often use brush motors as a power source.
Carbon brush Motor
1.Working principle.
Carbon brush motor and brush motor principle is similar to the use of electromagnetic induction principle. When energised, the current of the carbon brush motor passes through the carbon brushes and the rotating rotor, generating a magnetic field. The magnetic field interacts with the magnetic field of the permanent magnets on the rotor, causing the rotor to rotate.
2. Structural characteristics.
The structure of a carbon brush motor is similar to that of a brush motor, which is mainly composed of a stator, a rotor, carbon brushes and a carbon brush holder. The difference is that carbon brush motors use carbon brushes to transfer the current and magnetic field, carbon brushes are more wear-resistant than traditional copper brushes and have a longer life.
Application areas
carbon brush motors have better wear resistance due to the characteristics of carbon brushes, so they are more widely used in high-speed and long-time running equipment. For example, carbon brush motors are often used as the driving force source in electric vehicles, ships, aircrafts and other vehicles.
Summary
Brush motors and carbon brush motors are a kind of DC motors, and their working principles are similar. They work on a similar principle, . The rotary motion of the rotor is produced by the interaction of the electric current and the magnetic field. The difference is that brush motors use copper brushes, while carbon brush motors use carbon brushes. Brush motors have a simple structure and low cost, and are suitable for household appliances and other fields; carbon brush motors are more suitable for high-speed and long-time running equipment due to the characteristics of carbon brushes.
