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 |
 |
