Alternator for Forklift

Forklift Alternators - An alternator is a device that changes mechanical energy into electric energy. It does this in the form of an electric current. In principal, an AC electric generator could likewise be labeled an alternator. The word typically refers to a small, rotating device driven by automotive and various internal combustion engines. Alternators that are located in power stations and are powered by steam turbines are referred to as turbo-alternators. The majority of these devices make use of a rotating magnetic field but at times linear alternators are also used.

If the magnetic field around a conductor changes, a current is induced within the conductor and this is actually how alternators produce their electrical energy. Often the rotor, which is actually a rotating magnet, revolves within a stationary set of conductors wound in coils located on an iron core which is actually referred to as the stator. If the field cuts across the conductors, an induced electromagnetic field or EMF is generated as the mechanical input makes the rotor to turn. This rotating magnetic field produces an AC voltage in the stator windings. Typically, there are 3 sets of stator windings. These physically offset so that the rotating magnetic field induces 3 phase currents, displaced by one-third of a period with respect to each other.

"Brushless" alternators - these utilize brushes and slip rings together with a rotor winding or a permanent magnet to be able to induce a magnetic field of current. Brushlees AC generators are most often found in bigger machines such as industrial sized lifting equipment. A rotor magnetic field may be generated by a stationary field winding with moving poles in the rotor. Automotive alternators usually utilize a rotor winding which allows control of the voltage produced by the alternator. This is done by varying the current in the rotor field winding. Permanent magnet machines avoid the loss because of the magnetizing current inside the rotor. These devices are limited in size due to the price of the magnet material. The terminal voltage varies with the speed of the generator as the permanent magnet field is constant.
