Electromechanical Energy Conversion Basics

This document discusses principles of electromechanical energy conversion. It describes two types of electromechanical energy converters: gross-motion devices like motors and generators, and incremental-motion devices like electromechanical transducers. Examples of transducers include sensors, actuators, and electroacoustic transducers that convert between electrical and mechanical energy forms like motion, pressure, and sound. Magnetic fields play an important role in many of these conversions between electrical and mechanical energy domains.

Principles of Electromechanical Energy Conversion


June 25, 2012 Electromechanical energy converter Converts or transform electrical energy into mechanical form and vice versa Two types: 1. Gross-motion devices Motors and generators 2. Incremental-motion devices Electromechanical transducers o EAP o Galvanometer o MEMS Inkjet Printing Accelerometers Gyroscopes Mobile Microphones Pressure Sensor (Blood, Tire) Optical switching Fluid accelerator (microcooling) o Vibration-powered generator o Potentiometer (position transducer) o Load cell (strain gauge, piezoelectric cell) o Accelerometers o Airflow sensor o Tactile sensor (robotics, touch) Electroaccoustic transducer

Geophone converts a ground movement (displacement) into voltage (vibrations motion of conductor/coil magnetic field signal)

Gramophone pickup (air pressure motion magnetic field signal)

Hydrophone converts changes in water pressure into an electrical form

Sonar transponder (water pressure motion of conductor/coil magnetic field signal)

Actuator motors for moving and controlling 1. Electric 2. Hydraulic 3. Pneumatic Mechanical Energy Not just referring to motion; the sum of potential and kinetic energy in a mechanical system Involves motion and position Magnetic field usage 1. A current-carrying wire produces a magnetic field in the area around it. 2. A time-changing magnetic field induces a voltage in a coil of wire if it passes through that coil. 3. A current-carrying wire in the presence of a magnetic field has a force induced on it. 4. A moving wire in the presence of a magnetic field has a voltage induced in it.

Loudspeaker, earphone converts electrical signals into sound (amplified signal magnetic field motion air pressure)

Microphone converts sound into an electrical signal (air pressure motion of conductor/coil magnetic field signal)
