Forklift Alternators

Forklift Alternator - An alternator is a device which transforms mechanical energy into electric energy. This is done in the form of an electrical current. In essence, an AC electric generator can also be labeled an alternator. The word typically refers to a rotating, small machine driven by automotive and other internal combustion engines. Alternators that are situated in power stations and are powered by steam turbines are actually known as turbo-alternators. Nearly all of these devices utilize a rotating magnetic field but from time to time linear alternators are used.

A current is generated in the conductor whenever the magnetic field surrounding the conductor changes. Normally the rotor, a rotating magnet, spins within a set of stationary conductors wound in coils. The coils are located on an iron core called the stator. If the field cuts across the conductors, an induced electromagnetic field also called EMF is produced as the mechanical input makes the rotor to turn. This rotating magnetic field generates an AC voltage in the stator windings. Typically, there are 3 sets of stator windings. These physically offset so that the rotating magnetic field produces 3 phase currents, displaced by one-third of a period with respect to each other.

"Brushless" alternators - these make use of brushes and slip rings with a rotor winding or a permanent magnet to produce a magnetic field of current. Brushlees AC generators are normally located in bigger devices such as industrial sized lifting equipment. A rotor magnetic field could be produced by a stationary field winding with moving poles in the rotor. Automotive alternators often make use of a rotor winding that allows control of the voltage produced by the alternator. This is done by changing the current in the rotor field winding. Permanent magnet devices avoid the loss because of the magnetizing current inside the rotor. These devices are restricted in size because of the price of the magnet material. The terminal voltage varies with the speed of the generator as the permanent magnet field is constant.
