Mechanical Components Introduction (Cont. ) For energy conversion between electrical and mechanical forms, electromechanical devices are developed. In general, electromechanical energy conversion devices can be divided into three categories: – Transducers (for measurement and control), which transform signals of different forms. Examples are microphones, pickups, and speakers Force producing devices (linear motion devices), which produce forces mostly for linear motion drives, such as relays, solenoids (linear actuators), and electromagnets. – Continuous energy conversion equipment, which operate in rotating mode. A device would be known as a generator if it convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, or as a motor if it does the other way around (from electrical to mechanical). Lor entz Force & EMF Lorentz force is the force on a point charge due to electromagnetic fields. It is given by the following equation in terms of the electric and magnetic fieldsF ? q(E? v?

B? ? dl ? b In a coil of N turns, the induced emf can be calculated by e ? ? Concept map of electromechanical system modeling d? dt where ? is the flux linkage of the coil and the minus sign indicates that the induced current opposes the variation of the field. It makes no difference whether the variation of the flux linkage is a result of the field variation or coil movement. EMF EMF – Example: EMF in a Linear Actuator – Example SolutionSketch L(x) and calculate the induced emf in the excitation coil for a linear actuator shown below. Assuming infinite permeability for the magnetic core and ignore the fringing effect, we can express the self inductance of the coil as L? x ? ? where Rg ? x? ? N2 ?o N 2 l ?d ? x? ?

B Fm l I X Force and Torque – A Singly Excited Actuator Consider a singly excited linear actuator. After a time interval dt, we notice that the plunger has moved for a distance dx under the action of the force F.The mechanical work done by the force acting on the plunger during this time interval is thus dWm ?

Wf ? ? , x? ? ? i? ? , x? d? In the diagram below, it is shown that the magnetic energy is equivalent to the area above the magnetization or ? -i curve. Mathematically, if we define the area underneath the magnetization curve a s the coenergy (which does not exist physically), i. e. 0 For a magnetically linear (with a constant permeability or a straight line magnetization curve such that the inductance of the coil is independent of the excitation current) system, the above expression becomes 1 ?

Since this force is caused by the variation of magnetic reluctance of the magnetic circuit, it is known as the reluctance force. Rg The singly excited linear actuator becomes a singly excited rotating actuator if the linearly movable plunger is repla ced by a rotor. Through a derivation similar to that for a singly excited linear actuator, one can readily obtain that the torque acting on the rotor can be expressed as the negative partial derivative of the energy stored in the agnetic field against the angular displacement or as the positive partial derivative of the coenergy against the angular displacement.

With an electromechanical commutator, the dynamo is a classical direct current (DC) generator. The DC generator can operate at any speed within mechanical limits but always outputs a direct current waveform.

K? 1 C Friction Friction Modelling Friction: force that opposes the relative motion or tendency of such motion of two surfaces in contact. Friction between the two objects converts kinetic energy into heat.Coefficient of friction (Frictional coefficient): dimensionless scalar value which describes the ratio of the force of friction between two bodies and the force pressing them together, needs not be less than 1 – under good conditions, a tire on concrete may have a coefficient of friction of 1. 7. Static friction (stiction) occurs when the two objects are not moving relative to each other: Rolling friction occuring when one object â€Å"rolls† on another (like a car's wheels on the ground), is stiction as the patch of the tire in contact with the ground, at any point while the tire spins, is stationary relati ve to the ground.Kinetic (or dynamic) friction occurs when two objects are moving relative to each other and rub together: – Sliding friction is when two objects are rubbing against each other. – Fluid friction is the friction between a solid object as it moves through a liquid or a gas. The drag of air on an airplane or of water on a swimmer are two examples of fluid friction.

An ideal damper is a device that exhibits no mass or spring effect and exerts a force that is a function of the relative velocity between its two parts. A linear ideal damper has a force proportional to the relative velocity. In all cases a damper produces a force that opposes the relative motion of the two parts. Mechanical friction occurs in a variety of situations under many different physical conditions.Sometimes friction is unwanted but must be tolerated and accounted for analytically, as, for example, in bearings, sliding electrical contacts, and the aerodynamic drag on a moving body. In other cases friction is desired and is designed into equipment. Examples are vibration dampers and shock absorbers. d ? x2 ? x1 ? dt dx ?B dt F? B ? B? R d 2 ? ?1 ? dt d? ?B dt T?
