Inputs
Commutator – Design input parameters
Note: By definition, the commutator is always placed in the
connection side (C.S.) which is identified by a yellow lighting.
Label | Tooltip, note |
Length | Commutator axial length. |
Support thickness | Thickness of the not conducting material that is supporting the commutator segments.Since it has cylindrical form it corresponds to its radius. |
Shift | Commutator shift |
Segmentation thickness | Thickness of the conductive commutator segments. |
Insulation pitch ratio | Angular ratio of the insulation between commutator segments |
Contact resistance | Contact resistance between the brushes and the commutator segments |
|
