The armature is the moving part of a motor or generator.

Tthe shaft is the central rod on which the armature rotates.

The commutator is the part that transfers the power too or from the moving windings in the armature to the static part of the motor or generator (either too or from the electricity supply).

What does the brushes and commentator in a D C motor do?

i have never heard of a commentator in a motor, think you may be mistaking that word. inside an electric motor you have a stator and windings, as polarity changes it spins the stator and the brushes transfer the charge to the device being used.. I think they meant commutator. If you break an electric motor down to 2 parts, you have a commutator and an armature. the armature being the shaft that basically floats on bearings, and the commutator being the hull where the stator is. (and there is such thing as a brushless electric motor.) the stator does not spin. that is the term used for the magnets that pull the electric field supplied by the brushes. To make even more simple, imagine a shaft floating on bearings with 2 magnets on it, one positive and one negative ( the armature) and this shaft is inside of a ring of electricity the is flowing in one direction, its going to pull the negative and push the positive (the commutator) and cause the armature to spin.

Is a commutator the rotating element of a motor?

The commutator is part of the armature on a DC motor and this assembly is the rotating element of a motor.


Define the brush on a dc motor?

The brush is actually a piece of carbon placed on the rotating commutator of the motor. it will be in pairs. Since the armature shaft rotates but gets the continuity through these brushes.

What does the commutator in an electrical motor do?

If there is a commutator, it means you are dealing with a DC motor.The commutator acts like a switch to supply voltage to a revolving armature from the stationary brush assembly.A commutator has commutator bars, each seperated by mica insulation. Each coil of the rotating armature is connected to two bars that are in directly opposite positions across each diameter of the armature.The total number of commutator bars depends on the design of the windings on the armature: either "lap" or "wave" windings can be used on a DC motor or generator which is provided with a commutator.For more information see the answer to the Related question and also the Related link shown below.


Name two reasons for arcing at the commutator?

1) When the armature is open. 2) When the Field is open. 3) Commutator segments are internally short.
