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




Dimensions are illustrated with arrows The commutator is always placed in the connection side (C.S.) which is identified by a yellow lighting
