Armor; whatever is worn or used for the protection and defense of the body, esp. the protective outfit of some animals and plants.
A piece of soft iron used to connect the two poles of a magnet, or electro-magnet, in order to complete the circuit, or to receive and apply the magnetic force. In the ordinary horseshoe magnet, it serves to prevent the dissipation of the magnetic force.
That moving part of a dynamo or electric generator in which a current is induced by a moving through a magnetic field, or, in an electric motor, the part through which the applied current moves, thereby generating torque. The armature usually consists of a series of coils or groups of insulated conductors surrounding a core of iron.
The rotating part of a motor or generator.
any part of an electric machine or device that vibrates under the influence of a magnetic field or within which an electromotive force is induced.
The central part of an electric motor, usally carrying the windings and the commutators. The load propellor, pinion gear) is usually attached to the armature shaft. Report this Word Added by: fritzke
Commonly known as the rotor. It is the rotating element in a motor, typically supported by a bearing system. In a brush type DC motor it consists of current carrying copper wire wound around a laminated steel stack, or in the case of coreless or ironless motors, a self-supporting copper wire winding. Another notable armature type is a magnet rotor made up of a multi-pole permanent magnet typically used in brushless, slot less, motor designs.
the rotating frame that supports the field coils of a motor.
The rotating or moving component of a magnetic circuit.
The wire-wound rotating part of a motor.
A wire-wrapped iron or steel core forming a movable coil within the starting motor. When it revolves in the magnetic field between the poles, an electric current is induced.
The moving part of an alternator, generator or motor. In many PM alternator designs, it carries the magnets and is attached to the blades and hub. Also called a Rotor.
(1) In a relay, the movable portion of the relay. (2) The windings in which the output voltage is generated in a generator or in which input current creates a magnetic field that interacts with the main field in a motor.
armor, protective covering for the body; wire-bound core of a dynamo or electric motor; iron bar used to connect poles of a magnet The next stage was to reduce the current in the armature. The armadillo has an armature of horny plates over its body
A coil of wire formed around an iron or steel core that rotates in the magnetic field of a generator or motor.
rotating member of a brushed DC motor.
the rotating axle of a motor
coil in which voltage is induced by motion through a magnetic field
a part made of ferromagnetic metal that is magnetized by a coil of copper ribbon wound around it, creating an electromagnet
a part of an electrical motor or dynamo
A current-carrying conductor inside a motor, which reacts to the motor's magnetic field by moving to a weaker area of the field. The armature's movement provides mechanical energy for work.
A component of a magnetic contactor that holds the movable contacts.
That part of a generator or of an electric motor in which a current is induced by a magnetic field. The armature usually consists of a series of coils or groups of insulated conductors surrounding a core of iron. View Generator Theory for more information.
The moving part of an electromechanical device. The movement usually results when energy is transferred from an electromagnetic field to the armature.
The armature of an AC generator is the assembly of windings and metal core laminations in which the output voltage is induced. It is the stationary part (stator) in a revolving-field generator.
A part of the magnetic structure of a motor that rotates in a DC or universal motor.
the rotating coil or coils of a dynamo or electric motor.
A laminated, soft iron core wrapped by a wire that converts electrical energy to mechanical energy as in a motor or relay. When rotated in a magnetic field, it changes mechanical energy into electrical energy as in a generator. !-- google_ad_client = "pub-5892925108295539"; google_alternate_color = "FFFFFF"; google_ad_width = 300; google_ad_height = 250; google_ad_format = "300x250_as"; google_ad_type = "text"; google_ad_channel ="4636922922"; google_page_url = document.location; google_color_border = "FFFFFF"; google_color_bg = "FFFFFF"; google_color_link = "990000"; google_color_url = "990000"; google_color_text = "000000";
A piece of steel, soft iron or a coil so placed as to be acted upon by the electromagnet or permanent magnet; or that part of an electric generator in which electricity is generated, or the part of a signal motor which rotates.
A laminated core of conductive material, such as copper, with insulated wire wound around it, in multiple layers, in which electromotive force is produced by magnetic induction in a generator or motor; usually a revolving part, but in an alternating current machine, it is often stationery. Basically generators convert mechanical energy into electrical energy while motors convert electrical energy into mechanical energy as it rotates. They both work by electrical conductors, which pass through the lines of magnetic force and are carried on the surface of the armature. Armatures are either fixed or rotating. The field will be stationary if the armature rotates as in DC machines. The field will be rotating if the armature is stationary as in AC machines.
The portion of the magnetic structure of a DC or universal motor which rotates
The rotating part of a brush-type direct current motor. In an induction motor, the squirrel cage rotor.
In electrical engineering, an armature is one of the two principal electrical components of an electro-mechanical machine--a motor or generator. The other is the field winding or field magnets. The role of the "field" component is simply to create a magnetic field (magnetic flux) for the armature to interact with, so this component can comprise either permanent magnets, or electromagnets formed by a conducting coil.
