Need information about this Motor ?

[skimask]

Hi all,

I have a motor to make an application such as vechile robot or anything to control it using PIC , but first i need to know all information about the motor I take it from my friend, the motor has 6 wires for motor and 2 wires for magnetic brake (24V) , I need to know these questions?
1- Is this motor AC or DC ?
2- what does the schematic mean ?
3- is there anyway to control the motion of each wheel ?

I attached the photos of this motor

thanks alot for any helping

Looks like a high-ish voltage standard DC motor (probably actually a universal motor) to me, 2 posts for the field, 2 posts for the armature, swap F1/F2 or A1/A2 to change direction, change speed with a PWM controller. Could control speed by changing voltage/current, but PWM is much more efficient.

You probably would've found a lot of this information had you search the forums I pointed you to in one of your earlier threads...

I think skimask is correct.
I will also add the two wires coming out of the end are for speed feed back, a tach of sorts. These normally go to the speed controller. Say you have a conveyor with a variable load. Those two wires is how the controller knows what speed things are running at.

Yep , that jibes, F = field A= armature DOH !
Field and Armature wired in series, wired for CW and CCW. Sometimes I just overthink some things, what do you suppose the extra 2 wires are for? TACH ?

The O/P said 6 wires for the motor, 2 for brake, so I assume that's 8 wires total.
If that's the case, then yes, I'd say 2 for field, 2 for armature, 2 for tach, 2 for brake.

Damn!

Nope, 6 from the motor 2 from the brake, zoom in the picture, easy with Firefox and Zoom plugin.

Isn't that what I said?

Maybe this is it. Explains the 6 wires from the motor.
