Motor "toothing - strong vs weak" what does it tell us
« on: August 25, 2011, 07:55:31 AM »
Guys,
Since rebuilding my AXI 2826/10 with new bearing I also bought a new Hacker 30XL10 just in case the rebuild went bad (it didn't). Comparing the two motors the AXI has very strong "toothing" feel where as the Hacker is softer toothing.

Question - does the stronger toothing indicate a stronger more "torquie" motor that has closer tolerance and would pull less amps for the same load?

Best,       DennisT

No, "torque" (in mean torque on the shaft per A) is function of KV (strength of magnet to number of winging) ... toothing does not change it, also strenght of the magnets do not have too much with it, it is just difference in shape of "fingers" of the stator to shape of magnets and count of coils and magnes, gap smace etc ... simply design of magnet flux circuit

Hi Dennis,
The cogging you feel (that's the accepted term) is, as Igor said, a function of how the motor is designed.
The next question might be, which is better? There is no single answer, just different trade-offs.

Yup.  In a servo motor cogging is a royal pain in the behind (as is variations in torque in operation that aren't there when there's no current flowing).  But there's a whole bunch of factors that a motor designer has to fling around when doing a design, of which cogging torque is one of many.

For a prime mover it only matters if it starts shaking things apart.

The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.
