36Key information May 2009 edition / subject to change max on DC motor and max on EC motorKey information The motor as an energy converterThe electrical motor converts electrical power Pel (current I and voltage U) into mechanical power Pm e c h (speed n and torque M)
The losses that arise are divided into frictional losses, attributable to Pmech and in Joule power losses PJ of the winding (resistance R)
Iron losses do not occur in the coreless maxon DC motors
In maxon EC motors, they are treated formally like an additional friction torque
The power balance can therefore be formulated as:The detailed result is as followsElectromechanical motor constantsThe geometric arrangement of the magnetic circuit and winding defi nes in detail how the motor converts the electrical input power (cur
