Descriptions

All the kit parts to make one motor are packed in a strong transparent container with a screw cap. The student winds the rotor, makes the commutator, makes the brushes and assembles the frame, the magnets and the whole motor in a very short time. The student can wind different types of windings on the rotor. The options are: Single coil, double coil or four coils. This feature permits a better understanding of the principles of the electric motor and commutation. The motor can run either on DC or AC, but normally a ‘D’ size dry cell or a power supply set to 2V.DC. is used. When 1 -1.5 volts is applied to the brushes, the motor runs very reliably and the power or torque can perform useful tasks. The finished motor can be picked up and carried around while it is running without any risk of it falling apart.

Motor Kit Consists of:

• 1x Steel ‘U’ shaped frame

• 1x Rotor (two half rotors clicked together)

• 1x Axle shaft

• 2x Magnets

• 2x End plates, plastic

• 3x Rubber rings to hold commutator wire loops in place

• 2x Reels of insulated wire (1x red and 1x black)

• 2 x Alligator clip

• 2x Elastic band to hold motor together

• 1x Instruction for student
