  • Page 71: Appendix Edc Motor Operation - Background

    Appendix E DC Motor Operation - Background E.1 How A DC Motor Works E.1.1 General Principle A DC motor works by converting electric power into mechanical energy (movement). This is achieved by forcing current through a coil and producing a magnetic field, which in turn, spins the motor.
  • Page 72 Appendix E Both forces are of equal magnitude. At 180°, the same phenomenon occurs, but segment A-B is forced down and C-D is forced up. In the 90° and 270° positions, the brushes are not in contact with the voltage source and no force is produced. In these two positions, the rotational kinetic energy of the motor keeps it spinning until the brushes regain contact.
  • Page 73 K-Cube Brushed DC Servo Motor Driver E.2 Positioning a Stage E.2.1 General Whenever a command is received to move a stage, the movement is specified in motion units, (e.g. millimetres). This motion unit value is converted to encoder counts before it is sent to the stage by the APT software. Each motor in the system has an associated electronic counter in the controller, which keeps a record of the net number of encoder counts moved.
