Without a doubt, the electric motor is gradually establishing itself as a real alternative to the combustion engine. But although important data about its autonomy, efficiency, etc. Few know in depth the operation and technology involved in these mechanical and electrical marvels that accompany us every day.<\/p>\n\n

For this reason, at Tomahawk Skateboards, we are starting a series of articles in which we will explain everything related to our electric motors, batteries, chargers, etc.<\/p>\n\n

Comencemos con lo obvio, \u00bfqu\u00e9 es un motor el\u00e9ctrico?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

An electric motor is basically a machine that transforms electrical energy into mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is translated into linear movement, which, after all, is what transports us or takes us from one place to another and makes us have a great time when we ride our skateboard.<\/p>\n\n

Pero realmente \u00bfqu\u00e9 elementos del motor hacen que esa energ\u00eda el\u00e9ctrica se convierta en mec\u00e1nica<\/strong>?Dentro de un motor el\u00e9ctrico podemos encontrar dos partes fundamentales y sin las cuales un motor el\u00e9ctrico nunca podr\u00eda funcionar. Tenemos una parte fija que se llama est\u00e1tor<\/strong> (stator<\/em>) y que consta de algunos elementos que dan soporte a la parte rotatoria del motor. M\u00e1s adelante analizaremos el est\u00e1tor con un poco mas de profundidad.La parte rotatoria \u201cque gira\u201d, se llama rotor<\/strong>, esta parte del motor el\u00e9ctrico es la que transmite la potencia, a trav\u00e9s de un eje, al elemento a mover en cuesti\u00f3n, por ejemplo una polea, o las ruedas de nuestro skateboard.<\/p>\n\n

En la figura vemos algunos elementos que forman parte un motor el\u00e9ctrico del cual no hemos hablado, veamos. En el est\u00e1tor podemos ver un bobinado de cobre y en Rotor encontramos un grupo de imanes estrat\u00e9gicamente colocados, \u00bfcual es la funci\u00f3n del bobinado y de los imanes?<\/p>\n\n

When an electric current is applied to the coil, through an element called brushes, it generates a magnetic field, this magnetic field, whether positive or negative, is attracted or repelled by the magnets that surround it. We know that opposite poles attract and like poles repel each other, thus generating a small movement in the rotor. If we multiply this small movement by the number of magnets in the stator, we will make the rotor make a complete revolution.<\/p>\n\n

I leave you a small video that graphically explains what we have been discussing.<\/p>\n\n
