Chapter 3Electric Power;;Unit 7 Motors;After-reading exercises;2. Fill in the blanks with the information in the reading material 1）Using the wrong motor would result in under-performance and in the worse case, the project ending in a complete . 2） is the most common type of small battery-operated motor that can be used for a variety of projects. 3）Because of , they have become quite economical although the complicated electronic controllers are still expensive. 4）Servos are more to overload because of the built-in reduction gears and sometimes current-limiting capability. 5）The stepper motor offers the greatest in term of displacement. 6）Except in the special areas of , stepper motors are not very useful for general project because of their low torque and complicated control set-up. Key to exercise 2 2 1) failure; 2) DC Motor; 3) mass production; 4) tolerant; 5) precision; 6) robotics ;3. Identify the following to be True or False according to the text 1）If you want your project to have some form of movements, linking a motor to some mechanism is the only effective way of achieving the purpose. （ ） 2）AC Motors can be found cooling power supplies and CPUs in PCs and operating CD-ROM drives. （ ） 3）For example, if your project requires 3 kg.cm forces, then choose a unit that gives 3kg.cm force. （ ） 4）AC Motors cannot be powered by batteries and requires special connections to enable them to work properly. （ ） 5）It is still advisable to use a higher power servo for any application to cater for friction and mechanical losses doe to sloppy linkages. （ ） 6）Steppers have the unique quality of holding a rotor position without damaged. （ ） Key to exercise 3. 3.
