Definition

Additive Manufacturing (AM) refers to a


process by which digital 3D design data is
used to build up a component in layers by
depositing material

Approved by AICTE |Affiliated to VTU | Recognized by UGC with 2(f) & 12(B) status |Accredited by NBA and NAAC 9
Approved by AICTE |Affiliated to VTU | Recognized by UGC with 2(f) & 12(B) status |Accredited by NBA and NAAC 10
Additive Manufacturing (AM) is an appropriate name to describe the
technologies that build 3D objects by adding layer-upon-layer
of material, whether the material is plastic, metal, concrete or one
day…..human tissue.
Common to AM technologies is the use of a computer, 3D modeling
software (Computer Aided Design or CAD), machine equipment and
layering material.
Once a CAD sketch is produced, the AM equipment reads in data
from the CAD file and lays downs or adds successive layers
of liquid, powder, sheet material or other, in a layer-upon-layer fashion
to fabricate a 3D object.
 The term AM encompasses many technologies including subsets
like 3D Printing, Rapid Prototyping (RP), Direct Digital Manufacturing
(DDM), layered manufacturing and additive fabrication.

3D Printing Vs CNC Machining
The key difference between 3D printing and CNC machining is that
3D printing is a form of additive manufacturing, while the CNC
machining is subtractive.

This means CNC machining starts with a block of material (called a


blank), and cuts away material to create the finished part. To do this,
cutters and spinning tools are used to shape the piece.

Some advantages of CNC machining include great dimensional


accuracy as well as many compatible materials, including wood,
metals and, plastic

Approved by AICTE |Affiliated to VTU | Recognized by UGC with 2(f) & 12(B) status |Accredited by NBA and NAAC 23
 Both 3D printing and CNC machining are compatible
with a wide variety of materials, including both plastics
and metals.

 3D printing however is more focused on plastics overall,


though this is changing rapidly as better and more
affordable ways of 3D printing metal are being developed
by manufacturers such as 3D Systems, Arcam, Desktop
Metal and Markforged.

 The most commonly used plastics used in CNC include


ABS(Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), Nylon (PA66),
Polycarbonate (PC), Acrylic (PMMA), Polypropylene (PP).
Approved by AICTE |Affiliated to VTU | Recognized by UGC with 2(f) & 12(B) status |Accredited by NBA and NAAC 24
A very commonly used metal in CNC machining is aluminium, used by
prototyping companies to create high-quality prototypes in a variety of
industries.

Aluminium is recyclable, has good protective qualities, and can create


effective prototypes for machining. Other commonly used metals include
stainless steel, magnesium alloy, zinc alloy titanium, and brass.

In 3D printing, commonly used thermoplastics include ABS(Acrylonitrile


butadiene styrene), PLA ( Polylactic acid), Nylon, ULTEM, but also photo-
polymers such as wax, calcinable or biocompatible resins.
Some niche 3D printers also allow for the printing of parts in sand,
ceramics, and even living materials.

Approved by AICTE |Affiliated to VTU | Recognized by UGC with 2(f) & 12(B) status |Accredited by NBA and NAAC 25
The most common metals used in 3D printing include
aluminium, stainless steel, titanium, and inconel.
It is also worth noting that to 3D print metal,
expensive ($100,000+) industrial machines are
required. Some materials such as super alloys or TPU
(flexible material) cannot be created with CNC, so must
be used with 3D printing or rapid tooling technology.

Approved by AICTE |Affiliated to VTU | Recognized by UGC with 2(f) & 12(B) status |Accredited by NBA and NAAC 28
Step 1: CAD

All AM parts must start from a software model that fully describes
the external geometry. This can involve the use of almost any
professional CAD solid modeling software, but the output must be
a 3D solid or surface representation

Reverse engineering equipment (e.g., laser scanning) can also be


used to create this representation.

Approved by AICTE |Affiliated to VTU | Recognized by UGC with 2(f) & 12(B) status |Accredited by NBA and NAAC 29
Step 2: Conversion to STL

Nearly every AM machine accepts the STL file format,


which has become a de facto standard, and nearly every
CAD system can output such a file format.

This file describes the external closed surfaces of the


original CAD model and forms the basis for calculation
of the slices.

Approved by AICTE |Affiliated to VTU | Recognized by UGC with 2(f) & 12(B) status |Accredited by NBA and NAAC 30
Step 3: Transfer to AM Machine and STL File Manipulation

The STL file describing the part must be transferred to


the AM machine.

Here, there may be some general manipulation of the file


so that it is the correct size, position, and orientation for
building.

Approved by AICTE |Affiliated to VTU | Recognized by UGC with 2(f) & 12(B) status |Accredited by NBA and NAAC 31
Step 4: Machine Setup

The AM machine must be properly set up prior to the build


process.

Such settings would relate to the build parameters like the


material constraints, energy source, layer thickness,
timings, etc.

Approved by AICTE |Affiliated to VTU | Recognized by UGC with 2(f) & 12(B) status |Accredited by NBA and NAAC 32
Step 5: Build

Building the part is mainly an automated process and the


machine can largely carry on without supervision.

Only superficial monitoring of the machine needs to take


place at this time to ensure no errors have taken place like
running out of material, power or software glitches, etc.

Approved by AICTE |Affiliated to VTU | Recognized by UGC with 2(f) & 12(B) status |Accredited by NBA and NAAC 33
Step 5: Build

Building the part is mainly an automated process and the machine


can largely carry on without supervision.

Only superficial monitoring of the machine needs to take place at this


time to ensure no errors have taken place like running out of
material, power or software glitches, etc.

Approved by AICTE |Affiliated to VTU | Recognized by UGC with 2(f) & 12(B) status |Accredited by NBA and NAAC 34
Step 6: Removal

Once the AM machine has completed the build, the parts


must be removed.

This may require interaction with the machine, which may


have safety interlocks to ensure for example that the
operating temperatures are sufficiently low or that there are
no actively moving parts.

Approved by AICTE |Affiliated to VTU | Recognized by UGC with 2(f) & 12(B) status |Accredited by NBA and NAAC 35
Step 7: Post processing

Once removed from the machine, parts may


require an amount of additional cleaning up
before they are ready for use. Parts may be weak
at this stage or they may have supporting features
that must be removed. This therefore often
requires time and careful, experienced manual
manipulation.

Approved by AICTE |Affiliated to VTU | Recognized by UGC with 2(f) & 12(B) status |Accredited by NBA and NAAC 36
Step 8: Application

Parts may now be ready to be used. However, they may


also require additional treatment before they are acceptable
for use.

For example, they may require priming and painting to give


an acceptable surface texture and finish. Treatments may
be laborious and lengthy if the finishing requirements are
very demanding.

Approved by AICTE |Affiliated to VTU | Recognized by UGC with 2(f) & 12(B) status |Accredited by NBA and NAAC 37
Advantages of AM

Freedom of design
Complexity for free
Potential elimination of tooling
Lightweight design
Elimination of production steps

Approved by AICTE |Affiliated to VTU | Recognized by UGC with 2(f) & 12(B) status |Accredited by NBA and NAAC 38
Applications of AM

AM has been used across a diverse array of


industries, including;

 Automotive
 Aerospace
 Biomedical
 Consumer goods and many others

Approved by AICTE |Affiliated to VTU | Recognized by UGC with 2(f) & 12(B) status |Accredited by NBA and NAAC 39
Classification of Additive Manufacturing Systems

The Better way is to classify AM systems broadly by the initial form of its material, all AM
Systems can be easily categorised into
Liquid Based
Solid Based
Powder Based

Photo Polymerization (Stereolithography)

Approved by AICTE |Affiliated to VTU | Recognized by UGC with 2(f) & 12(B) status |Accredited by NBA and NAAC 42
Photo Polymerization

• Stereolithography Apparatus (SLA) is a liquid-based process which builds parts directly from CAD
software.
• SLA uses a low-power laser to harden photo-sensitive resin and achieve polymerization.
• The process begins with a 3D CAD file. The file is digitally sliced into a series of parallel horizontal
cross-sections which are then provided to a Stereolithography Apparatus (SLA) one at a time.
• A laser traces the cross-section onto a bath of photopolymer resin which solidifies the cross-section.
The part is lowered a layer thickness into the bath and additional resin is swept onto the surface.
• The laser then solidifies the next cross-section. This process is repeated until the part is complete.
Most parts are completed in a matter of hours, thereby defined as a "Rapid Prototype".

Approved by AICTE |Affiliated to VTU | Recognized by UGC with 2(f) & 12(B) status |Accredited by NBA and NAAC 43
Discrete Particle Systems

• Discrete particles are normally powders that are generally graded into a relatively
uniform particle size and shape and narrow size distribution.
• The finer the particles the better, but there will be problems if the dimensions get too
small in terms of controlling the distribution and dispersion.

Powder Bed Fusion Processes
Selective Laser Sintering(SLS)

Approved by AICTE |Affiliated to VTU | Recognized by UGC with 2(f) & 12(B) status |Accredited by NBA and NAAC 45
Powder Bed Fusion Processes

Approved by AICTE |Affiliated to VTU | Recognized by UGC with 2(f) & 12(B) status |Accredited by NBA and NAAC 46
Powder Bed Fusion Processes

• Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), the most prominent of the powder bed fusion processes, was
originally developed at the University of Texas at Austin.
• In SLS a layer of powdered material is spread out and levelled over the top surface
of the growing structure.
• A laser then selectively scans the layer to fuse those areas defined by the geometry of the
cross-section; the laser energy also fuses layers together.
• The unfused material remains in place as the support structure. After each layer is
deposited, an elevator platform lowers the part by the thickness of the layer, and the next layer of
powder is deposited.
• When the shape is completely built up, the part is separated from the loose supporting
powder.

Approved by AICTE |Affiliated to VTU | Recognized by UGC with 2(f) & 12(B) status |Accredited by NBA and NAAC 47
Solid Sheet Systems

• One of the earliest AM technologies was the Laminated Object Manufacturing (LOM) system
from Helisys, USA.
• This technology used a laser to cut out profiles from sheet paper, supplied from a continuous
roll, which formed the layers of the final part.
• Layers were bonded together using a heat-activated resin that was coated on one surface of the
paper. Once all the layers were bonded together the result was very much like a wooden block.

Approved by AICTE |Affiliated to VTU | Recognized by UGC with 2(f) & 12(B) status |Accredited by NBA and NAAC 48
Laminated Object Manufacturing

• Laminated Object Manufacturing (LOM) is a process that combines additive


and subtractive techniques to build a part layer by layer.
• In this process the materials come in sheet form. The layers are bonded together by pressure
and heat application and using a thermal adhesive coating.
• A carbon dioxide laser cuts the material to the shape of each layer given the information of
the 3D model from the CAD and STL file.
• The advantages of this process are the low cost , no post processing and supporting structures
required, no deformation or phase change during the process, and the possibility of building large
parts.
• The disadvantages are that the fabrication material is subtracted thus wasting it, low
surface definition, the material is directional dependent for machinability and mechanical properties,
and complex internal cavities are very difficult to be built.
• This process can be used for models with papers, composites, and metals

Approved by AICTE |Affiliated to VTU | Recognized by UGC with 2(f) & 12(B) status |Accredited by NBA and NAAC 53
Molten Material Systems

• Molten material systems are characterized by a pre-


heating chamber that raises the
materialtemperature to melting point so that it can flow
through a delivery system.

The most well -known method for doing this is the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)
material extrusion technology developed by the US company Stratasys

Approved by AICTE |Affiliated to VTU | Recognized by UGC with 2(f) & 12(B) status |Accredited by NBA and NAAC 54
Fused Deposition Modeling

• FDM is a filament-based technology where a temperature-controlled head extrudes a


thermoplastic material layer by layer onto a build platform.
• A support structure is created where needed and built in a water-soluble material.

Post processing of AM parts

• Post-processing is an essential stage of additive manufacturing. It‟s the last step in the
manufacturing process, where parts receive finishing touches such as smoothing and painting.
• Why is post-processing important?
• Post-processing improves the quality of parts and ensures that they meet their design
specifications.
• The finishing process can enhance a parts surface characteristics, geometric accuracy,
aesthetics, mechanical properties, and more. For samples and prototypes, this can mean the
difference between a sale or a loss.
• For production parts, finishing creates a part that is ready to use.

Approved by AICTE |Affiliated to VTU | Recognized by UGC with 2(f) & 12(B) status |Accredited by NBA and NAAC 61
• A metal additive manufacturing (AM) part is essentially “welded” to the build plate, and
you will not be able to pull it off without some assistance. Even then, the AM part will need post
processing before it is ready to use.
• Here are some costs associated with post processing AM parts

Approved by AICTE |Affiliated to VTU | Recognized by UGC with 2(f) & 12(B) status |Accredited by NBA and NAAC 62
Powder Removal:

• AM parts build “down” in a powder-bed fusion system as new layers are added to the top, which
means that parts are buried in powder when they are done .
• After the build has finished and the parts/build plate have cooled, the machine operator
has to remove all of the powder
• from the build volume and sieve/filter/recycle it for later use, assuming you want to reuse it.
• This is not an expensive step, but it does take time.

Approved by AICTE |Affiliated to VTU | Recognized by UGC with 2(f) & 12(B) status |Accredited by NBA and NAAC 63
Stress Relief:

• The heating and cooling of the metal as the part builds layer-by-layer leads to internal stresses
that must be relieved before the part is removed from the build plate. Otherwise, the part may warp or
even crack.
• Stress-relieving the part requires an oven or furnace (preferably with environmental
controls) that is big enough to fit the entire build plate.
• Many recommend using an oven with an inert environment to minimize oxidation on the part
surface.

Approved by AICTE |Affiliated to VTU | Recognized by UGC with 2(f) & 12(B) status |Accredited by NBA and NAAC 64
Part Removal:

• Most companies use wire EDM to remove parts from the build plate, however many machine
shops are starting to use a bandsaw because it is faster and the bottoms of the parts must be finished
anyway.
• Keep in mind that materials such as Inconel strain-harden as they are worked, making it
difficult to remove them from the build plate with just a bandsaw.
• A bandsaw can complete the task in minutes.

Approved by AICTE |Affiliated to VTU | Recognized by UGC with 2(f) & 12(B) status |Accredited by NBA and NAAC 65
Heat Treatment:

• Heat treatment (aging, solution annealing and so on) improves the microstructure and
mechanical properties of the parts and is necessary for nearly all AM parts.
• In many cases, this step also requires an environmentally controlled furnace with the ability to
regulate the temperature and cool -down schedule.
• Heat treatment may affect the dimensions of the parts, so most people prefer to heat-treat parts
before they machine/finish them.
• The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) just released a standard for thermal
postprocessing of metal AM parts.

Approved by AICTE |Affiliated to VTU | Recognized by UGC with 2(f) & 12(B) status |Accredited by NBA and NAAC 66
Machining:
• Machining of mating interfaces, surfaces, threads, support structures
and more likely will be required to ensure dimensional accuracy of the finished
part.
• Few AM parts meet specifications “as built,” and if nothing else,
the surface of the part that was connected to the build plate will need to be
finished.
• Most manufacturing companies already have machining systems on
hand, but registering parts and establishing datums for machining can be
tricky, especially for complex, organically shaped parts made with AM.
• Accessing internal channels or cooling passages that need to be
machined can also increase costs. The cost here is highly dependent on the
material and the job as well as the fixturing needed to hold the part.

Approved by AICTE |Affiliated to VTU | Recognized by UGC with 2(f) & 12(B) status |Accredited by NBA and NAAC 67
Surface Treatments:

• Surface finishing also might be required


to improve surface finish/quality, reduce surface
roughness, clean internal channels or remove partially melted
particles on a part.
• When outsourced, these costs can easily run in the hundreds
if not thousands of dollars.

Approved by AICTE |Affiliated to VTU | Recognized by UGC with 2(f) & 12(B) status |Accredited by NBA and NAAC 68
Inspection and Testing:

• Metrology, inspection and nondestructive testing using white/blue -


light scanning, dye-penetrant testing, ultrasonic testing, computed
tomography (CT) scanning and more will be needed after post processing and
possibly at multiple points during post processing.
• Destructive testing of sample parts and analysis of witness coupons
(for example, tensile bars), powder chemistry, material microstructure and
more also may be needed to gather data to help with process qualification
and ultimately part certification.
• Most companies will have a range of metrology and non- destructive
testing methods on hand, but AM parts with internal channels, lattice
structures and other internal enhancements may require CT scanning to
ensure clear passageways, evaluation of internal geometries and more.

Guidelines for process selection
• A variety of AM technologies have been developed. According to
ASTM Standard F2792 (ASTM F2792-12a 2012), these technologies can be
catalogued into seven groups: binder jetting, directed energy deposition,
material extrusion, material jetting, powder bed fusion, sheet lamination
and vat photo- polymerization.
• More than 350 industrial AM machines and 450 materials have been
identified in the market (Senvol LLC 2015). The debate about which
machine or technology fares better than others has little value as each of
them has its targeted applications.
• AM technologies are no longer limited to prototyping usage,
but are increasingly also being used for making end products .
• Therefore, „Design for Additive Manufacture‟ (DfAM) becomes
increasingly significant for avoiding potential manufacturing pitfalls and
maximizing utilization of AM capability.

Definition

Additive Manufacturing (AM) refers to a


process by which digital 3D design data is
used to build up a component in layers by
depositing material

Hydraulic motors

Approved by AICTE |Affiliated to VTU | Recognized by UGC with 2(f) & 12(B) status |Accredited by NBA and NAAC 10
Pneumatic motor

A pneumatic motor (air motor) or compressed air engine is a type of motor


which does mechanical work by expanding compressed air. Pneumatic motors
generally convert the compressed air energy to mechanical work through
either linear or rotary motion

Linear motion can come from either a diaphragm or piston actuator, while
rotary motion is supplied by either a vane type air motor, piston air motor, air
turbine or gear type motor.

Pneumatic motors have existed in many forms over the past two centuries,
ranging in size from hand-held motors to engines of up to several hundred
horsepower. Some types rely on pistons and cylinders; others on slotted rotors
with vanes (vane motors) and others use turbines.

Approved by AICTE |Affiliated to VTU | Recognized by UGC with 2(f) & 12(B) status |Accredited by NBA and NAAC 11
Many compressed air engines improve their performance by heating the
incoming air or the engine itself. Pneumatic motors have found widespread
success in the hand-held tool industry, but are also used stationary in a
wide range of industrial applications

Continual attempts are being made to expand their use to the


transportation industry. However, pneumatic motors must overcome
inefficiencies before being seen as a viable option in the transportation
industry.

Approved by AICTE |Affiliated to VTU | Recognized by UGC with 2(f) & 12(B) status |Accredited by NBA and NAAC 12
Classification
Linear

In order to achieve linear motion from compressed air, a system of pistons is


most commonly used. The compressed air is fed into an air-tight chamber
that houses the shaft of the piston
Also inside this chamber a spring is coiled around the shaft of the piston in
order to hold the chamber completely open when air is not being pumped
into the chamber
As air is fed into the chamber the force on the piston shaft begins to
overcome the force being exerted on the spring. As more air is fed into the
chamber, the pressure increases and the piston begins to move down the
chamber

Approved by AICTE |Affiliated to VTU | Recognized by UGC with 2(f) & 12(B) status |Accredited by NBA and NAAC 13
When it reaches its maximum length the air pressure is released from
the chamber and the spring completes the cycle by closing off the
chamber to return to its original position.

Piston motors are the most commonly used in hydraulic systems.


Essentially, piston motors are the same as hydraulic motors except they are
used to convert hydraulic energy into mechanical energy.

Piston motors are often used in series of two, three, four, five, or six
cylinders that are enclosed in a housing. This allows for more power to be
delivered by the pistons because several motors are in sync with each other
at certain times of their cycle.

Approved by AICTE |Affiliated to VTU | Recognized by UGC with 2(f) & 12(B) status |Accredited by NBA and NAAC 14
Rotary vane motors

A type of pneumatic motor, known as a rotary vane motor, uses air to produce
rotational motion to a shaft. The rotating element is a slotted rotor which is
mounted on a drive shaft. Each slot of the rotor is fitted with a freely sliding
rectangular vane.
The vanes are extended to the housing walls using springs, cam action, or air
pressure, depending on the motor design

Air is pumped through the motor input which pushes on the vanes creating
the rotational motion of the central shaft

Rotation speeds can vary between 100 and 25,000 rpm depending on several
factors which include the amount of air pressure at the motor inlet and the
diameter of the housing.

Approved by AICTE |Affiliated to VTU | Recognized by UGC with 2(f) & 12(B) status |Accredited by NBA and NAAC 15
One application for vane-type air motors is to start large industrial
diesel or natural gas engines. Stored energy in the form of compressed
air, nitrogen or natural gas enters the sealed motor chamber and
exerts pressure against the vanes of a rotor

This causes the rotor to turn at high speed. Because the engine flywheel
requires a great deal of torque to start the engine, reduction gears are
used

Reduction gears create high torque levels with the lower amounts of energy
input. These reduction gears allow for sufficient torque to be generated by
the engine flywheel while it is engaged by the pinion gear of the air motor
or air starter

Rotary vane motors normally are used in applications requiring
low- to medium-power outputs
Simple and compact vane motors most often drive portable power tools, but
certainly are used in a host of mixing, driving, turning, and pulling
applications as well.
The vanes are biased to seal against the housing interior wall by springs,
cam action, or air pressure, depending on design
The vanes are biased to seal against the housing interior wall by springs,
cam action, or air pressure, depending on design
Torque develops from pressure acting on one side of the vanes.
Torque at the output shaft is proportional to the exposed vane area, the
pressure, and the moment arm (radius from the rotor centerline to the center
of the exposed vane) through which the pressure acts.

Approved by AICTE |Affiliated to VTU | Recognized by UGC with 2(f) & 12(B) status |Accredited by NBA and NAAC 18
VANE MOTORS

In the slot, there are generally 3 to 10 vanes.

To enable the vanes to come out of the slots they are designed with compression
spring or pressure air
For motors equipped with an even number of vanes, a connecting pin links
diametrically opposite vanes so that as the bore surface pushes one vane in,
the pin pushes the other vane
But leakage probability will be there when the vane tip wears out

Vane motors run at 100 to 25,000 rpm

PISTON TYPE

Piston air motors are used in applications requiring high power, high starting
torque, and accurate speed control at low speeds.

They have either two, three, four, five, or six cylinders arranged either axially
or radially within a housing.

Output torque is developed by pressure acting on pistons that reciprocate


within the cylinders.
Power developed by a piston motor depends on the inlet pressure, the number
of pistons, and piston area, stroke, and speed.
Radial- and axial-piston motors have one significant limitation:
they are internally lubricated, so oil and grease supplies must be
checked periodically and replenished.
Approved by AICTE |Affiliated to VTU | Recognized by UGC with 2(f) & 12(B) status |Accredited by NBA and NAAC 21
Radial-piston motors :

Feature robust, oil-lubricated construction and are well-suited to continuous


operation.

They have the highest starting torque of any air motor and are particularly
beneficial for applications involving high starting loads.

Overlapping power impulses provide smooth torque in both forward and


reverse directions.

Sizes range to about 35 hp for speeds to 4,500 rpm.

Approved by AICTE |Affiliated to VTU | Recognized by UGC with 2(f) & 12(B) status |Accredited by NBA and NAAC 22
Axial-piston motors

Are more compact than radial-piston motors, making them ideal for
mounting in close quarters

Their design is more complex and costly than vane motors, and they are
grease lubricated

However, axial-piston motors run smoother and deliver maximum power


at much lower speeds than vane motors can.

axial-piston motors also tolerate higher ambient temperatures

TURBINE MOTORS

It converts low velocity high pressure air to high velocity low pressure air by
passing it through metering nozzles
Major advantage of this is that there is no rubbing or sliding contact between
the rotating parts and the body cavity
This reduces wear and lubricated air is not required to seal and lubricant
problem

Application is advisable only in low ambient temperature because of lubricant

connected in parallel across the supply voltage
The resistance of the shunt winding 𝑅sh is always
higher than the armature winding 𝑅𝑎
Since V and 𝑅𝑠h both remains constant the 𝐼𝑠h
remains essentially constant, as field current is
responsible for generation of flux. thus ∅∝ 𝐼𝑠h
So, shunt motor is also called as constant flux motor.

A DC shunt motor is a type of direct


current (DC) motor that has a field coil
connected in parallel with the armature.
It is also known as a shunt wound DC
motor.

 The field windings and armature


winding are exposed to the same
supply voltage.
 The motor armature turns faster
when the current in the field coil is
decreased.
 The motor can increase torque
without sacrificing speed by
increasing the motor current.

Approved by AICTE |Affiliated to VTU | Recognized by UGC with 2(f) & 12(B) status |Accredited by NBA and NAAC 36
Applications of DC shunt Motor:
These motors are constant speed motors, hence

Like:
1)Lathe machine
2) Drilling machine
3) Grinders
4) Blowers
5) Compressors

DC Series Motor

In this type of DC motor the armature and field windings are
connected in series.
the resistance of the series field winding Rs is much smaller than
the armature resistance Ra
The flux produced is proportional to the field current but in this
𝐼𝑓=𝐼𝑎 thus ∅∝𝐼𝑎
Thus flux can never become constant in dc series motor as load
changes If and Ia also gets changed
Thus dc series motor is not a constant flux motor

A DC series motor is a type of electric
motor that converts electrical energy
into mechanical energy. It is a self-
excited motor with a field coil that is
connected in series to the armature
winding.

•The field coil and armature winding


are connected in series, which allows a
higher current to pass through the field
coil.
•The magnetic field around the current-
carrying conductor and an outside field
interact, which causes the output shaft
to rotate.

Solenoids

Solenoid is an electromechanical device.


Electrical energy is used to magnetically cause mechanical movement

A solenoid is a long wire wound as a helix to produce a reasonably


uniform magnetic field B in the interior of the solenoid coils when the
solenoid carries a steady current I.
When the coils (turns) are closely spaced, each turn can be
approximated as a circular loop and the net magnetic field B is the
vector sum of the fields resulting from all of the turns.
Inside the solenoid, the field lines are nearly parallel, uniformly
distributed, and close together, indicating that the magnetic field is
uniform.

Approved by AICTE |Affiliated to VTU | Recognized by UGC with 2(f) & 12(B) status |Accredited by NBA and NAAC 49
The magnetic field lines between the turns tends to cancel
each other.
The magnetic field outside the solenoid is non uniform and
weak.
The field at exterior points, such as P, are weak because
current elements on the upper portions tends to cancel the
current elements on the lower portions.

Relays
Relays are switching that open and close circuit electromechanically or
electronically. Relays control one electrical circuit by opening and
closing contacts in another circuit.
When a relay contact is normally open (NO), there is an open contact
when the relay is not energized.
When a relay contact is Normally Closed (NC), there is a closed
contact when the relay is not energized. In either case, applying
electrical current to the contacts will change their state.
Relays consist of an electromagnet and also a set of contacts. A relay is
used when a circuit is to be controlled at a low power signal. Relays are
often grouped together or with other components like fuses. Relays have
two circuit: a control circuit and a load circuit.

Approved by AICTE |Affiliated to VTU | Recognized by UGC with 2(f) & 12(B) status |Accredited by NBA and NAAC 59
History about Relays
The relay was invented in 1835 by American scientist Joseph Henry in order to
improve his version of the electrical telegraph.

Basic design or operation


A simple electromagnetic relay consists of a coil of wire wrapped around a soft
iron core, an iron yoke which provides a low reluctance path for magnetic flux,
a movable iron armature, and one or more sets of contacts.
The armature is hinged to the yoke and mechanically linked to one or more sets
of moving contacts. It is held in place by a spring so that when the relay is
deenergized there is an air gap in the magnetic circuit. In this condition, one of
the two sets of contacts in the relay is closed, and the other set is open.

IDEAL DIODE
An ideal diode is a diode that acts like a perfect conductor when voltage is applied
forward biased and like a perfect insulator when voltage is applied reverse biased. So when
positive voltage is applied across the anode to the cathode, the diode conducts forward
current instantly.

FORWARD BIAS
When voltage is applied across a diode in such a way that the diode allows current and the
potential barrier reduced, the diode is said to be forward-biased.

A Zener Diode allows current to flow from its anode to its cathode like a normal semiconductor diode, but it
also permits current to flow in the reverse direction when its "Zener voltage" is reached
Zener diodes have a highly doped p-n junction. Normal diodes will also break down with a reverse voltage
but the voltage and sharpness of the knee are not as well defined as for a Zener diode.
Also normal diodes are not designed to operate in the breakdown region, but Zener diodes can reliably
operate in this region.

emits light when activated

When a suitable voltage is applied to the leads, electrons are able to recombine with electron holes
within the device, releasing energy in the form of photons
This effect is called electroluminescence, and the color of the light (corresponding to the energy of the
photon) is determined by the energy band gap of the semiconductor.

What is a Thyristor?
 A thyristor is a four layer solid-state semiconductor device with P and N type material
 Whenever a gate receives a triggering current

 It starts’ conducting until the voltage across the thyistor device is under forward bias.

 So it acts as a bistable switch under this condition.

Thyristor Circuit Symbol

Different States in a Thyristor

There are three states in a thyristor


 Reverse blocking mode– In this mode of operation, the diode will block the voltage which is applied
 Forward blocking mode– In this mode, the voltage applied in a direction makes a diode to
conduct. But conduction will not happen here because the thyristor has not triggered.
 Forward conducting mode– The thyristor has triggered and current will flow
through the device until the forward current reaches below the threshold value
which is known as “Holding current”.

Thyristor Layer Diagram
 Thyristor consists of three p-n junctions namely J1, J2, and J3.
 If the anode is at a positive potential with respect to the cathode and the gate
terminal is not triggered with any voltage.
 Then J1 and J3 will be under forward bias condition.
 While J2 junction will be under reverse bias condition.
 So J2 junction will be in the off state (no conduction will take place).
 If the increase in voltage across anode and cathode beyond the VBO (Breakdown
voltage). Then avalanche breakdown occurs for J2.
 Then thyristor will be in ON state (starts conducting).
 If a VG (Positive potential) is applied to the gate terminal.
 Then a breakdown occurs at the junction J2 which will be of low value VAK. The
thyristor can switch to ON state, by selecting a proper value VG.
 Under avalanche breakdown condition.
 The thyristor will conduct continuously without taking consideration of gate voltage,
until and unless,
o The potential VAK is removed or
o Holding current is greater than the current flowing through the device.
 Here VG– Voltage pulse which is the output voltage of the UJT relaxation oscillator.
