Brushed DC Motor Basics I

Agenda

● Topics discussed in this Web-Seminar:
- Basics of Brushed DC motors
- Four Types of Brushed DC Motors

● Principles of Operation
During this web-seminar I will discuss the main components of a brushed DC motor
and how these components work together to function as a motor. We will also
explore four types of brushed DC motors and compare common characteristics
between them.

Motor Basics
So let’s start off with the brushed DC motor basics.

Motor Components
1. Stator
2. Rotor / Armature
3. Brushes
4. Commutator
A brushed DC motor is made up of 4 basic components; the stator, the rotor ( or
