6.4 Rotating Machines: Active Elements

These machines have fixed but also moving parts. The stator is the fixed part, and the rotor is the part of the machine that moves, mainly rotates. A rotating machine can be arranged used as a motor, or for electricity generation (Fig. 6.7). Among others, the basic components are the stator as well the rotor.

A vintage industrial machine with visible gears and a metal casing, positioned in a workshop setting. The machine appears to be used for mechanical processes, with intricate components and a sturdy build. The background includes a plain wall, adding to the industrial atmosphere.

We classify rotating machines according to the function they perform:

Generators

Their task is to generate electricity from other primary energy sources that often have been converted into mechanical energy.

Motors

They convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. The mechanical energy as torque is used to generate work. This torque turns a shaft, allowing a specific amount of work to be done. In addition, it is common to divide rotating machines into two types: DC machines and AC machines. AC machines can function either synchronously or asynchronously. Then we can classify them (Fig. 6.8).

Flow chart illustrating the classification of electrical machines. It starts with three main categories: Generators, Motors, and Other. Generators and Motors are further divided into Direct Current (DC) and Alternating Current (AC). AC is split into Synchronous and Asynchronous types. The "Other" category includes Delgas Collector, Stepper Motor, and others.
