wikkelrotor
A wikkelrotor, also known as a wick rotor or wick rotor, is a type of rotor used in certain types of electric motors, particularly in brushless DC motors and some types of induction motors. The term "wikkelrotor" is derived from the Dutch word "wikkelen," which means to wind or coil. The rotor in a wikkelrotor motor is wound with a conductive material, typically copper wire, which is then wound into a coil or coils.
The primary advantage of a wikkelrotor is its ability to carry a higher current density than a
However, the wikkelrotor design also has some disadvantages. The winding process can be complex and time-consuming,
In summary, a wikkelrotor is a type of rotor used in electric motors that is wound with
