    Losing field current in a DC machine

    Be careful loosing the motor field can be dangerous The three main types of DC motors are: Permanent Magnet, Shunt wound, and Series wound. Permanent Magnet These motors have a permanent magnet which generates a magnetic field. Rotating in this field is the armature through which current is...

    NS Motors

    Hi all I overheard two electrical winders discussing NS motors when I asked them what the NS meant they simply said they were named NS after the person who designed them. Who or what is NS?

    broken or cracked shaft

    hello michelle. our fitters thought it was a cracked shaft or maybe a loose commutator. the motor was run at 1500rpm/25hz no load conditions.there is no previous spectra. the spectra shows multiple harmonics of 2x 3x 4x high 5x line frequency,possible electrical problem?i am going to run the...

    What collection specification settings do I need when collecting time

    What collection specification settings do I need when collecting time waveform, i.e. velocity mm/sec rms, acceleration g rms or displacement um rms. (iso apply as I am in the uk) Is it as simple as; when collecting data and I find a potential problem in a spectrum, should I apply the...

    What collection specification does a balancing kit use?

    thanks greg Valid points, as soon as I can I am going to set up a test rig and compare data levels between a data collector and a portable balancing kit. I will set the data collector in balance mode copying the portable balancers parameter settings. the figures quoted in my question were...

    What collection specification does a balancing kit use?

    Recently I flagged up a fan unit for balancing Motor 01 h = 3.7 mm/sec rms Motor 01 v = 2.8 mm/sec rms Motor 02 h = 5.7 mm/sec rms Motor 02 v = 5.4 mm/sec rms Motor 02 a =1.2 mm/sec rms Fan 03 h = 7mm/sec rms Fan 03 v = 5.1mm/sec rms Fan 04 h = 7.2mm/sec rms Fan 04 v = 8.1mm/sec rms All the...

    1/3 x running speed vibration in electric motor

    Hi Paul technical associates of charlotte diagnostic charts suggest that mechanical looseness can often cause sub harmonics at 1/2 0r1/3rpm some diagnostic charts may suggest oil whirl this can occur at 39%-40%. so depending on your data collection resolution this may be the case. you could try...

    Want to lower HIGH horiz vibe readings !

    is the unit mounted on anti vibration mounts i have had many cases where where the drive motor has been running at 10-15mm/sec(mainly vertical and axial planes ) and the fan bearings have been no more than 4-5mm/sec after further investigation i found that some of the av mounts were worn. i...
