Normally,the structure of permanent magnet dc motor is as follows, 1-Shell and cover
2-Magnetic steel
3-Rotor winding 4-Brush
5-Commutator 6-Shaft
Construction of d.c. PM commutator motors with laminated-core rotors:(a) slotted rotor, (b) slotless rotor.
The use of permanent magnets in construction of permanent magnet dc motors brings the following benefits:
• no electrical energy is absorbed by the field excitation system and thus there are no excitation losses which means substantial increase in efficiency,
• higher power density and/or torque density than when using electromagnetic excitation,
• better dynamic performance than motors with electromagnetic excitation(higher magnetic flux density in the air gap),
• simplification of construction and maintenance,
• reduction of prices for some types of machines.
