<strong>Brush</strong> <strong>Type</strong> DC Motors<br />

heat sink or forced air cooling. In normal<br />

applications the actual value can be 1/2 to<br />

1/3 of the listed tpr because the armature<br />

may be mounted on a shaft with good heat<br />

conductivity.<br />

(f R ) Ripple Frequency.The number of ripple<br />

cycles in one revolution of the armature<br />

is the ripple frequency (in cycles per revolution).<br />

A higher frequency component<br />

caused by the brush phasing also is present,<br />

but the fundamental frequency is determined<br />

by the number of commutator bars.<br />

(T R ) Ripple Torque.A small change in<br />

torque with armature position is caused by<br />

the switching action of the commutator.<br />

The armature rotates through a small angle<br />

before its field is returned to its original<br />

position through commutation.This variation<br />

is known as ripple torque and is usually<br />

expressed in percent of torque level.<br />

(WT) Weight.Weight of the servo motor is<br />

the sum of the weights of the armature, the<br />

field, and the brush assembly. It does not<br />

include the weight of the mounting hardware.<br />

(R) DC Resistance.This is the DC resistance<br />

(in ohms) measured at 25°C between<br />

the motor terminals. It is the sum of the<br />

winding and brush resistances.This resistance<br />

is usually measured at 1/3 to 1/5 of<br />

peak current.<br />

(V p ) Voltage at Peak Torque.This is the<br />

voltage required to produce peak torque<br />

(T p ) where the motor is at standstill and<br />

the winding temperature is 25°C.<br />

(I p ) Current at Peak Torque.This is the current<br />

required to obtain peak torque (T p )<br />

from the motor. It is given in amperes.<br />

(800) 777-3393<br />

(K T ) Torque sensitivity.This is in torque output<br />

of the motor per ampere of motor input<br />

current. It is given in ounce-inches per<br />

ampere.<br />

(K b ) Back EMF.This is the voltage generated<br />

by the armature as it rotates in the permanent<br />

magnetic field and is proportional<br />

directly to the speed. It is numerically equal<br />

to the torque sensitivity (K T ) multiplied by a<br />

constant. It is given in volts/rad/sec.<br />

(L M ) Inductance.This is the inductance of<br />

the motor armature as measured at the<br />

motor terminals. It is given in millihenries,<br />

measured at 1kHz.<br />

(P) Power Rate.The ratio of peak torque<br />

squared to inertia which is useful in applications<br />

where the acceleration of a load<br />

through a gear train is the prime consideration.<br />

An initial motor selection is made<br />

which has a power rate of at least 4 times<br />

the product of the load inertia and the load<br />

acceleration required. A gear ratio is then<br />

chosen which will match the motor and<br />

load inertia.<br />
