PMDC

PMDC (Permanent Magnet DC motor)
PRINCIPLE:
DC motor has an armature which rotates within a magnetic field, and the main
working principle of this motor depends on a current carrying conductor which is
arranged in a magnetic field, and the mechanical force will be experienced with the
conductor.
DC motors are classified into different types which work on the same principle.
A PMDC is a kind of DC motor that includes a permanent magnet to form the

magnetic field necessary for the DC motor operation.
The permanent magnet dc motor can be defined as a motor which includes a

permanent magnet pole is called Permanent Magnet DC Motor. In this motor, the
magnet can be used to make the flux working within the air gap in its place of the
field winding. The rotor structure is similar to the straight DC Motor. PMDC
Motor’s rotor includes armature core, commutator, & armature winding. Normally,
in a conventional DC motor, there are two kinds of winding such as armature as
well as Filed.
The main function of field winding is to produce the functioning magnetic flux
within the air gap as well as wound on the stator of the motor while armature
winding can be wound on the rotor. Inactive carbon brushes are pushed on the
commutator like in conventional DC motor. The operating voltage of the PMDC
motor is 6 volts, 12 volts otherwise 24 volts DC supply attained from the voltage
sources.
Construction of PMDC Motor
The PMDC motor’s permanent magnets are maintained with a cylindrical-steel

stator and these supplies like a return lane for the magnetic flux. The rotor supplies
like an armature, and it includes commutator segments, winding slots, & brushes
like in conventional dc machines. The permanent magnets used in this motor are
classified into three namely Alnico magnets, Ceramic (ferrite) magnets, and Rare-
earth magnets.
Operation of PMDC Motor
In this motor, a permanent magnetic field can be generated with the permanent
magnets which communicate by the perpendicular field stimulated by the flow of
currents within the rotor windings; therefore a mechanical torque can be created.
When the rotor rotates in response to the created torque, then the position among
the stator as well as rotor fields can be reduced, and the torque would be reversed
in a 90-degree rotation. To maintain the torque performing on the rotor, PMDC
motors include a commutator, set to the rotor shaft.
The commutator activates the current supply toward the stator thus as to continue a
steady angle = 90, among two fields. As the flow of current is frequently activated
among windings like the rotor twists, then the current within every stator winding
is truly exchanging at a frequency comparative to the no.of motor magnetic poles
as well as the speed.
Characteristics of PMDC Motor

The characteristics of PMDC Motor include the following.
PMDC Motor Characteristics
The PMDC Motor characteristics are related to the dc shunt motor characteristic in
terms of speed, torque, as well as armature current. But, the characteristics of
speed-torque are more linear as well as conventional in these types of motors.
Advantages and Disadvantages of the PMDC Motor

The advantages and disadvantages of the PMDC motor include the following.
 The size of these motors is smaller

 These motors are cheaper
 These motors do not need field windings, and they don’t have the copper losses
in the field circuit.
 The major drawback of this motor is, the generating capacity of working flux
within the air gap is limited. But, due to the expansion of some latest magnetic
material such as Samarium Cobalt & Neodymium Iron Boron, this trouble has
been determined to some level.
Applications of the PMDC Motor

The applications of the PMDC Motor include the following.
 These motors are in several applications varying from fractions to numerous

horsepower. These are designed with 200 kW to use in various industries.
 These are applicable in automobiles for operating windshield wipers as well as
washers, to move up the lower windows, to drive blowers for air conditioners as
well as heaters.
 These are used in computer drives, toy industries.
 These motors are applicable in food mixers, electric toothbrushes, and moveable
vacuum cleaners,.
 These are used in a handy electric tool like hedge trimmers, drilling machines,
etc.
