The armature of a generator or motor is that part of the machine containing the winding in which the electromotive force is generated For direct-current machines, it is usually revolving, while for alternating-current machinery it is usually stationary The two essential parts of all generators and motors are the field magnet, which produces the necessary magnetic flux, and the armature on which the conductors are arranged
Iron bars or framing employed for the consolidation of a building, as in sustaining slender columns, holding up canopies, etc
The rotating part of an electric motor or dynamo, which mostly consists of coils of wire around a metal core
{i} armor, protective covering; framework around which an artist forms a sculpture; part of an electric generator
The part, usually revolving, of an electric motor or generator that includes the main current-carrying winding and in which the electromotive force is induced
The armature usually consists of a series of coils or groups of insulated conductors surrounding a core of iron
The skeleton of a stop-motion puppet, usually constructed of machined steel Armature ball and socket joints allow animators to manipulate the puppet to create the illusion of movement Although a stop-motion puppet's foam latex body will often wear out and be replaced during the grueling course of animation, well made armatures normally outlast the production Armatures are also used for motion input devices only the joints are configured with encoders that can digitize the armatures movements
The moving part of an alternator, generator or motor In many PM alternator designs, it carries the magnets and is attached to the blades and hub Also called a Rotor
A bendable metal form used in sculpting The armature is posed, clay, "green stuff," or other media is built up on the armature and then detailed The flexibility of the form allows it to be repositioned as the figure takes shape
The center part of the motor which rotates making the transfer of electricity across the motor, enabling the motor shaft to spin A quality armature is mounted on ball bearings, and protected from incoming vacuum air that has been heated and dirtied
