AC motors are not suitable for tape recorders because the speed can not be kept sufficiently constant. Tape recorders use dc shunt-wound motors with electronic speed control.

No, most likely it is a shaded pole motor.

What type of motor is used for driving a motor in tape recorder?

hysteresis


How do you replace a 3 phase 5hp motor?

I assume that by two-phase, you really are talking about a supply with two hot wires and a neutral, such as 120/240 volt. This is single phase power, it just has power taps on both ends of the transformer winding, the neutral is the center tap. I don't think it is possible to convert or rewire your motor. A large 3 phase motor must be run on a 3 phase electrical supply. It will not run and will overheat if you try to connect it to a single phase supply. The only way to make a 3 phase supply from a single phase supply is to use a converter like a motor-generator set. That would be way more expensive than getting a new motor.


Why will the tape recorder not work without the magnet?

Tape recording is a magnetic process; sound is translated into a pattern of magnetic fields which is recorded by a magnetic material (usually ferric oxide) that coats a plastic tape.


How to control speed of dc motor using microprocessor 8085?

Here the DC motor is controlled by the microprocessor (8085). The kit used was dynalog 8085 kit. The DC motor is very difficult to control unlike the stepper motor, which can be controlled by giving the appropriate CONTROL WORD. By knowing the DC motor theory we know the different methods used to control the motor, the most primitive and the once upon a time the most popularly method was WARDLEONARD motor speed control, but this had many disadvantage, so the world of Electronics brought in the thyristor control, which were very flexible and can be employed to use AC instead of DC cause they had a inbuilt convertor. The thyristor-based system is good but when used with Microprocessor based speed controller they are really good. We have shown the block diagram, circuit diagram used by us to control a small tape recorder sized motor


Why do you need to control the speed of a DC motor?

The speed of DC motors need to be controlled because that is what the application needs. In some cases, it is to protect the motor or the attached equipment. In toys and robots, you'd want different speeds. Electric cars such as golf carts would need to control the speed of a DC motor so you can easily drive it like driving a car with a gasoline engine. Tape recorder motors contain a flywheel and a governor to regulate their speed so the tape will move at an even and standard rate. If the motor starts to get a little too fast, its contacts inside open up to briefly power down the motor and when it is slow enough, the contacts close again. So this helps to compensate for different amounts of battery charge and for different operating conditions. Record players have a simpler job of regulating their speed since most use alternating current and a simple induction motor. Since the voltage and frequency is constant, no governors are needed. Unless the bearings go bad, the motor will run at that fixed rate.
