  1. Electric Motors Mastercraft 14.4 V Cordless Reciprocating Saw Travis Ricard

  2. Objective To outline and provide relevant information on the following • The Various Components of an Electric Motor • How an Electric Motor Works • Function Within The Reciprocating Saw

  3. What Are The Components of An Electric Motor • Axle • Commutator • Armature • Field Magnet • DC Power Supply

  4. Axle, Armature and Commutator • The axle contains the armature and commutator • The armature consists of a set of electromagnets • An electromagnet is a set of thin metal plates stacked together. • Thin copper wire is coiled around each of the plates • Each end of the wire is soldered onto the plate and then wired to the commutator. • The commutator is a pair of plates attached to the axle. • These plates provide the two connections for the coil of the electromagnet. http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/motor5.htm

  5. Field Magnet • Consists of the motor housing and two curved permanent magnets http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/motor4.htm

  6. How Does An Electric Motor Work • A battery is used to magnetize the coils. • Creates a magnetic field traveling north to south outside the coil • North end of the coil is attracted the south end of the magnet • Vice-versa for the south end of the coil • This attraction causes the axel to make half a rotation http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/motor4.htm

  7. In an electric motor the armature takes the place of the nail • As the armature passes through the horizontal position, the current flips. • The magnetic dipole is flipped, which is caused by a reverse in electron flow • The commutator causes the reverse of electron flow • The process continues indefinitely http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/magnetic/motdc.html#c2

  8. Function Within The Reciprocating Saw • The electric motor converts the power of the battery into mechanical energy • The motor does work to create rotational motion • The rotational motion is transferred into linear motion to be used for the tool’s primary purpose.

  9. Conclusion • The information presented in this presentation is a brief outline of the main ideas regarding the main role of the electric motor in the Mastercraft 14.4 V Cordless Reciprocating Saw
