Understanding Motor Noise and The Role of Permanent Magnets and Assemblies
Motor noise is a very important factor in many applications ranging from domestic use to industrial use. Loud noise not only impacts the operation, productivity and effectiveness of the motor but also makes the environment intolerable and unbearable. Some of the common factors that affect motor noise include quality and design of the Permanent Magnets and Assemblies in the motor.
Stators also have permanent
magnets that are used to produce the magnetic fields which are required for the
motor. However, the magnetic field produced by these magnets and rotors causes
vibrations and thus noise. So it is necessary to concentrate on the issues of
the motor components’ design and assembling in order to reduce the noise level.
Permanent
Magnets, Assemblies and Their Influence on Motor Noise
Magnet
Quality and Alignment: The quality of the permanent
magnets in a motor has a strong influence on the noise levels. When the
magnetic material is of a high quality and the distribution of magnetic field
is uniform, noise is eliminated. Also, the motor assembly incorporates these
magnets in a manner that aligns the overall forces so as to reduce vibrations
that cause noise.
Assembly
Techniques: Another factor that determines the level of
noise is the manner in which magnets are assembled within the motor. Lack of
movement during operation is achieved by proper assembly methods that include
proper tolerance and proper mounting of the magnets. Any gaps or misalignments
in the structure are capable of producing mechanical oscillations which are a
primary source of motor noise. Consequently, it is essential to pay attention
to accuracy and stability of the magnet assemblies to come up with quieter
motors.
Techniques
for Minimising Motor Noise
Vibration Dampening: There
is one technique that can be used in order to minimize the motor noise is the
use of the vibration damping materials and methods. These can be incorporated
in the motor design especially in the region of the magnet assemblies, to damp
the vibrations before they turn into audible noise.
Optimized Magnet Design: The
actual construction of the permanent magnets can also be done in a way that
will minimize the noise. It is possible to select materials with lower
hysteresis losses which will also help in reducing the noise level of the motor.
Precision Manufacturing:
Purchasing of high quality manufacturing processes guarantees that all
sub-assemblies such as magnets and their assemblies are of high quality. This
minimizes fluctuations in motor performance hence improving on the smoothness
of the operation and the amount of noise made.
Conclusion
Reducing Motor Noise
is not just a matter of reducing the sound output but it involves the quality,
design, Permanent magnets and assemblies
and other related parts. In the above areas, manufacturers are able to make
motors that are quieter and efficient in their operation. MQI Technology
