angle engines/motors Explanation: ... for Winkelmotoren (in analogy to angle drive = Winkelantrieb given by Routledge) asynchronous engines/motors (given by Routledge) Motoren could be either engines or motors depending on the (technical) field of application and/or US vs UK usage. Pls note that it's NOT asynchronic but asynchronous. Sabine's source seems to show a deficient translation from Russian into English. Routledge Fachw�rterbuch Technik |

angular gear(ed) motor Explanation: I think this is what they mean. Asynchronous motor = Asynchronmotor. Usually an engine is fuel-powered, a motor is powered with electric current. |

3 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): -1
peer agreement (net): -1stepping motor Explanation: These motors don't rotate continuously, but in small angular (Winkel) steps. 'Schrittmotor' is the more usual term. Reference: http://www.imm.org/Reports/Rep013.html#Motors |

comment re: Winkelmotor Explanation: The only Google hits I get for Winkelmotor (there aren't many) suggest that it is a motor whose output shaft is at an angle to the body of the motor, or possibly an angular drive attached to or incorporated into a motor. One example is (from a text discussing the sterilisation of dental drills): Morgens vor Arbeitsbeginn können der Turbinenspray sowie das Wasser der Munddusche hohe Koloniezahlen angereichert haben ( > 10.000 / ml ). Oft sind die Turbinen oder diejenigen Schläuche besiedelt, die Turbinen, Winkelstücke, Winkelmotor und Munddusche mit der Einheit verbinden. ' -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-07-17 07:35:27 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Nn further reflection, it must mean a motor whose output shaft is at an angle to the shaft of the rotor. Since this requires gearing, such a motor is a gearmotor. Normally, the output shaft is at a right angle (90 degrees) to the rotor shaft ( thus a right-angle gearmotor). See e.g. http://www.franklin-electric.com/empd/product/gear.html: Selecting a gearmotor type The size or location of the space allocated to the drive system often dictates the choice between a right angle and an in-line gear reduction. Either system can be mounted in all positions using a motor base, gearcase foot (right angle gearboxes), or gearcase flange (parallel shaft gearboxes). Right Angle Worm gearing is most often utilized for right angle systems. Worm gear reductions of up to 70 to 1 per stage are common and compare to a maximum of 5 to 6 to 1 in small size (single stage) helical or spur gear parallel reduction. The sliding action of the worm gear engagement does result in a lower noise level, particularly when compared to a spur gear reduction. Franklin uses precision cut, induction hardened steel gears with the worm gear cut integral with the motor shaft. The system uses ball bearings in the motor, and sleeve bearings or needle bearings in the gearcase. Reference: http://www.landesgesundheitsamt.de/gewerbearzt/bull.htm. |
