traktionsschleife

A tractionsschleife, also known as a traction loop or traction coil, is a component used in electric motors and generators to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy and vice versa. It is a type of electromechanical device that operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction. The tractionsschleife consists of a coil of wire, typically made of copper, wound around a core, which is usually made of iron or another magnetic material. When an electric current is passed through the coil, it creates a magnetic field that interacts with the magnetic field of the core, causing the coil to rotate. This rotation can be used to drive a mechanical load, such as a fan or a pump. Conversely, when the coil is rotated by an external force, it generates an electric current in the coil, which can be used to power electrical devices. Tractionsschleifen are commonly used in electric vehicles, electric generators, and other applications where the conversion of electrical and mechanical energy is required. They are known for their high efficiency, reliability, and low maintenance requirements. However, they also have some limitations, such as their sensitivity to temperature changes and their relatively low power density compared to other types of electric motors.
