The Difference in Design between Synchronous and Asynchronous Motors

 There some difference in desigh between synchronous and asynchronous motors.

1. The biggest difference between synchronous and asynchronous motors is whether the rotor speed is consistent with the magnetic field speed of the stator. If the rotor's rotational speed is the same as that of the stator, it is called a synchronous motor. Otherwise, it is called an asynchronous motor.

2. When the number of poles is constant, there is a close connection between the motor's speed and frequency, namely, it is synchronous connection. Asynchronous motors are also called induction motors, whose rotor speed during operation is always lower than that of synchronous motors.

3. The synchronization refers to that after the current flows through the electric drive (stator) windings, a rotating magnetic field will be formed in the air gap. The rotation direction and speed of the magnetic field are the same as the rotation of the rotor. Therefore, it is synchronous. As for asynchronous motors, the rotating magnetic field and the rotor have a relative speed, namely, the torque will be generated.

What Causes an Vibration Motor to Overheat?

Generally speaking, a vibration motor has a certain operating power, which is called the rated power, the unit is watts (W). If the actual motor power exceeds the rated power of the vibration motor in some cases, this phenomenon is called motor overload. The following is the reasons for the vibration motor overload. 1. Overload. 2. The voltage of the vibration motor is too high or too low. 3. The vibration motor is severely damp or corroded by corrosive gas for a long time, which reduces the insulation resistance. 4. The bearing of the vibration motor lacks of oil or is under dry grinding situation. Additionally, the rotor is mechanically misaligned, causing the motor current to exceed the rated value. 5. Failure of the mechanical transmission parts happens. 6. Analysis of other causes of vibration motor overload. The terminal voltage is too low. This voltage refers to the voltage measured at the lead end of the motor stator when the vibrating motor is starting or running at full load,...

Why My Torque Sensor Reading is Unstable?

Torque sensors often have unstable output signals during use. But the torque sensor testing is qualified after the production. What is the reason for this? In fact, there are many reasons for the unstable signal of the torque sensor during use and the common ones mainly include the following three aspects. The torque sensor is not installed properly and the axis is not parallel, which will cause the signal output to be unstable. The torque sensor is easy to be damaged if it is in this state for a long time. The power supply voltage is unstable. Our torque sensors are generally powered by a dual voltage of plus and minus 15V and 24V or other voltages. Unstable power supply voltage will also cause unstable output signals. Interference from other machines next to the torque sensor. For example, if there is a frequency converter next to the torque sensor, it is easy to cause the output signal to be unstable. The solution is to add a 1:1 isolation transformer in front of the power supply of...

Electric Linear Actuator

How does an electric linear actuator work? Here is the working principle of electric linear actuator. The electric motor drives a pair of screw nuts after gear deceleration. The rotary motion of the motor is turned into linear motion, and the actuator action is completed with the help of forward and reverse rotation of the motor. Such mechanisms can complete the rotation, shaking and other complex actions. By changing the length of the lever force arm, the stroke can be increased. Electric linear actuator is a general-purpose auxiliary drive device, which can be widely used in medical, furniture, home, electronics, electric power, machinery, metallurgy, transportation, mining, petroleum, chemical, lifting, transportation, construction, grain and feed processing and other industries. The linear actuator features energy-saving and environmental protection, reliable performance, sensitive action, smooth operation, same push and pull force, good environmental adaptability, etc. Additional...
