PRINTER’S DC MOTOR

(DYNAMO)

WHAT IS A DYNAMO?

• It is an electrical generator that produces direct current.

• It converts mechanial energy to electrical energy.

PARTS OF A DYNAMO

YOKE/FRAME

 Is the outer frame. It serves two purposes:

I. It provides mechanical support for the poles and acts as a protective
cover for the whole machine.
II. It carries the magnetic flux produced by the poles.

ARMATURE CORE

 Made up of thin magnetic steel lamination stamped from sheet with a blanking
die.
 Slots are punched in the lamination with a slot die.
 The laminations are weld, riveted, bolted or bonded together.
 It house the armature conductors or coils, and causes them to rotate and
hence cut the magnetic flux of the field magnets.
AIR GAP

 the space between the armature and the pole shoes.

LAMINATIONS ELECTRIC CIRCUIT

COMMUTATOR

 needed to support direct current. In direct current, power flows in only one
direction through a wire, the problem is that the rotating armature in a dynamo
reverses current each half turn, so the commutator is rotary switch that
disconnections the power during the reversed current part of cycle

BRUSH

 are part of the commutator, the brushes must conduct electricity as the keep
contact with the rotating armature. The first brushes were actual wire
‘brushes’ made of small wires. These wore out easily and they developed
graphic blocks to do the same job.
ARMATURE WINDINGS MECHANICAL SUPPORT

SHAFT

Made of mild steel with a maximum breaking strength. The shaft is used to transfer
mechanical power from or to the machine. The rotating parts like armature core,
commutator, cooling fans keyed to the shaft.

STATOR

 fixed structure that makes magnetic field, you can do this in a small dynamo
using a permanent magnet. Large dynamos require an electromagnet.
