Inputs
Brush input parameters
Two definition modes can be chosen for brushes
- Auto: Brushes dimensions and angular position are automatically calculated by FluxMotor to get the best fit with the defined winding. No input needed.
- User: Brushes dimensions and angular position are defined by the user.
The table below contains the brush input and their default values for “auto” mode.
| Label | Tooltip, note | Default value (auto mode) |
| Nº of brushes | Number of brushes. Only unblocked for wave winding | Number of poles |
| Angular position | Angular position of the reference brush (polarity +) |
Center of a north pole (for lap winding) Center of a south pole (for wave winding) |
| Pitch angle | Pitch angle of a brush | 0.85 times the segment commutator pitch for simplex winding (1.85 for duplex and 2.85 for triplex) |
 |

| Commutator – Brush definition mode: None | Commutator – Brush definition mode |
