Learning goals:

Students who followed this course, should be able to

-          Use the terminology used in elektromechanics,

-          Describe the operating principles of motors (magnetic circuits, magnets, induced voltage)

-          Deal with the important limitations and characteristics (losses, safe operating area, cogging, magnets, amplifiers)

-          Distiguish between the different construction forms of DC motors

-          Choose a motor for a certain application (given a load profile, ambient conditions, heat)

-          Be a good partner of a specialist who designs electromechanical actuators.
