3. Electrical machine assembly drawing using design data or sketches or both
DC Machine
Introduction:
DC Machines form one of the varieties of electrical equipment and are extensively in use
in various industrial applications like DC voltage generation, electro- plating, metal
extraction, traction, steel industry, paper mills etc. While the performance analysis and
design features have been considered already, given the design data, this chapter deals as
to how to make drawings of parts, sub assembly and general assembly. The input data for
making the CAD drawing may be in the form of wordings, sketches or both.

Pole and Yoke Assembly:
The pole is made up steel laminations of 1.2 mm thick as shown in Figure-6. The
laminations are assembled to the required length and then riveted to form a solid core.
The central hole is the driven with steel rod. The longitudinal holes in axial view are two
in number. The bolts are driven through yoke, pole and then to the central rod. The yoke
is shown in Figure-7. If the dimensions are given for pole/yoke, the CAD drawings can
be made.
Problem-1
Draw the Pole and Core Assembly of a DC machine with the following data –
Rating: 10 HP, 1500 RPM, 4 Pole, DC Motor
Radius of Pole: 115mm
Pole Length: 210 mm
Pole Width: 76 mm
End Stamping: 5 mm thick
Pole Arc/Pole Pitch = 2/3
Yoke Thickness: 20 mm
Use Suitable bolts for fixing the Pole Brick to the Yoke.
Hints: Prepare a preparatory sketch, using the data-
End plates of 5 mm thick are to be shown.
(This is to prevent the bulging of stamping)
Using commands, prepare the drawing. For solution see Figure-8 .

Problem - 2
Draw the pole and yoke assembly of the DC machine with the following details-
Pole radius = 345, Pole arc = 210,
Pole Height = 145, Pole width = 127
Yoke Inside Diameter = 345
Yoke thickness = 55
4 Nos. of rivet, 12 mm diameter
2 Nos. of Bolts, M20
All dimensions are in mm.

Problem-3
The isometric view of a Pole of a DC Machine is shown in the figure. The isometric view
of the Bobbin with field winding is also shown. Assemble the units and show half
sectional elevation of the assembly and the plan.
7
Hints: Make the preparatory sketch after carefully studying the pole and bobbin with
winding. Sharp corners are to be drawn with ‘fillet’ command. Bobbin edges will be seen
in the plan. The winding will not be seen in plan and hence shown in dotted line.

Problem-4
Hints: Armature core is made up of thin stampings which are blanked out from 0.5 mm
thick cold rolled non grain oriented (CRNGO) steel sheet. The slots are made using
cropping tools.
Draw the centre lines. Draw the OD and ID of the stamping. To draw the slot, consider
the angle subtended by one slot pitch at the centre, viz, 360/32 = 11.25 0. Draw the slot
with respect to centre line with the given dimensions. Retain the arc as shown in the
enlarged slot diagram. Then using polar array form the stamping with 32 slots distributed
over 3600.Draw the key way in rotor ID.
In this design, the armature core will be directly assembled on the shaft.

Problem-5
Armature diameter = 380 mm
No. of Slots = 36
Slot Dimension = 15 mm x 35 mm
Stamping Inside Diameter = 250mm
DC Machine Diameter = 80 mm
Draw the armature stamping. Furnish comment on providing spider/ hub
10
Two types of intermediate supports for holding the core on the shaft are given in Figure-
13 and Figure-14. Problem-6 illustrates an example where the armature core is directly
mounted on shaft. Problem-7 and Problem-8 deal with spider and hub assembled
armature core, respectively.
Figure-14, Spider
11
Problem-6
Draw the assembly of stampings to form the armature core on the shaft. The details are
given below-
OD of the stamping = 230 mm
ID of the stamping = 50 mm
Slot size = 8mm x 22 mm
No. of slots = 32
Armature core length = 170 mm
6 nos. of vent holes of 20 mm dia, on pitch circle dia of 110 mm
Key way dimensions = 14 mm x 9 mm
Assume suitable collar on one side of the shaft and groove on the other side of the core
for fixing the core axially.
Hints: Armature is resting against a raised collar on the shaft on the left hand side. On the
right hand side a groove is made in the shaft. In this groove two semi circular washers are
inserted. If necessary the washers are tag welded to the shaft. This arrangement ensures
arrest of axial movement of the core. The key on the shadt ensures arresting of radial
movement.

assembly

The core packet thickness = 36, 42, 36,36,36,42 mm respectively.
5 nos. of ‘H’ pieces of thickness of 12 mm are provided in between the core packets, for
cooling.
The commutator dimensions are given below-
On segments, 150 mm dia
On riser, 200 mm dia
Axial length,95 mm, Riser width, 12 mm
Commutator ID = 50 mm
Distance between core and commutator surfaces, 54 mm
Draw the longitudinal view showing the above details.
Hints:
The problem consists of two parts –
i) Placement of core
ii) Placement of commutator
Better to draw the stamping drawing for guidance purpose
Projection in the elevation is derived from thereof and the core packets and H pieces are
assembled.
Draw the commutator profile with given dimension at the given distance.
The collar and grooves are not shown in the figure.
This sub-assembly helps to decide the shaft diameters and tolerances at the appropriate
