  • are electromechanical driven machines that actuate motion by converting electrical energy into mechanical energy. These motion givers are used in robotics for several reasons
    electric motors
  • are one of the vital components that enable robots to move. Some motors connected to wheels help robots to move around.
    motors
  • It convert electrical energy to mechanical energy that enabling the robot to do programmed work. We must understand two concepts to anticipate how much work a robot can do
    motors
  • refers to the maximum speed a motor can reach and is measured in revolutions per minute (RPM)
    speed
  • One (1) RPM means that the motor's axle will turn around a circle once in a minute, which is very slow. Motors powered by direct current (DC) can have a speed rating of at least 1000 RPMs.
  • One (1) RPM means that the motor's axle will turn around a circle once in a minute, which is very slow. Motors powered by direct current (DC) can have a speed rating of at least 1000 RPMs.
  • measures how much force that a motor can produce or exert. One way to show this is if you attach an arm with a weight on it to the motor's axis, see how much weight the motor can lift.
    Torque \
  • Motors Part
  • The basic parts include an armature or a rotor, a commutator, brushes, an axle, a stator, electrical terminals, and a DC power supply.
    • armature or a rotor,
    • a commutator,
    • brushes,
    • an axle,
    • a stator,
    • electrical terminals, and a DC power supply.
  • often a permanent magnet or a row of magnets lining the edge of the motor casing a round plastic drum.
    stator
  • Inside the stator is the rotor or armature that spins as the motor is running. It is made of copper wire wound into a coil around an axle. The axle is the central shaft of the motor
  • An electric motor has another vital component, the commutator. It is located at one end of the coil. It is composed of a metal ring divided into two halves. It reverses the electrical current in the coil each time the coil rotates half a turn
  • Motors work with the principles of electromagnetism
  • It measures how much force a motor can produce or exert.
