ELECTRIC MOTORS
Convert electrical power to rotational power
Pin = VI
Pout = T
Motors have a voltage at which they run most efficiently. This is called the
nominal voltage.
To describe motor behaviour at nominal voltage, motor curves are used
As torque required increases:
Speed decreases
Efficiency changes
Speed: rpm
provided data.
Nominal voltage
The voltage that the motor most efficiently runs at. If the input voltage is too far away from the
nominal voltage, the motor will be very inefficient.
No load speed
Stall torque
Maximum efficiency
torque of 50 gcm.
Ans: Speed = 12458 rpm, current = 1.29 A.

predict behaviour
Test your motors once you receive them
Avoid high voltages and testing close to stall conditions. This could burn your
motor out.

MOTOR TROUBLESHOOTING
If a motor needs to move a load faster
Increase the drum size (only if far away from stall conditions)
Use a gearbox
12
GEARBOXES
Gearboxes use mechanical advantage to increase torque capability at the
N is no. of teeth

GEARBOX EXAMPLES
14
The gearbox size youd select if gear ratios were only available in multiples of 50 eg. 50, 100,
150, ..

BEARINGS
Bearings are a machine component that restrain motion to a particular
must be strong enough to support the moment created by the 0.5 kg mass as
well as the self weight of he crane.
16
PULLEYS
Create mechanical advantage by increasing force capability, while decreasing
speed capability
Good for small amounts of mechanical advantage, but not well suited to large
amounts

PROJECT APPLICATION
Designs will require at least one motor.
Mechanical advantage will be required since motors can only
