Alternator for Forklift

Forklift Alternators - A device utilized to be able to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy is called an alternator. It can perform this function in the form of an electrical current. An AC electric generator can basically be labeled an alternator. Nonetheless, the word is typically utilized to refer to a rotating, small machine powered by internal combustion engines. Alternators that are located in power stations and are driven by steam turbines are referred to as turbo-alternators. Nearly all of these devices utilize a rotating magnetic field but occasionally linear alternators are also used.

If the magnetic field surrounding a conductor changes, a current is produced inside the conductor and this is actually how alternators generate their electricity. Usually the rotor, which is actually a rotating magnet, turns within a stationary set of conductors wound in coils located on an iron core which is actually called the stator. If the field cuts across the conductors, an induced electromagnetic field likewise called EMF is generated as the mechanical input makes the rotor to revolve. This rotating magnetic field generates an AC voltage in the stator windings. Normally, there are 3 sets of stator windings. These physically offset so that the rotating magnetic field generates 3 phase currents, displaced by one-third of a period with respect to each other.

"Brushless" alternators - these make use of slip rings and brushes with a rotor winding or a permanent magnet to be able to generate a magnetic field of current. Brushlees AC generators are most often located in larger machines like for example industrial sized lifting equipment. A rotor magnetic field may be generated by a stationary field winding with moving poles in the rotor. Automotive alternators often utilize a rotor winding which allows control of the voltage induced by the alternator. This is done by varying the current in the rotor field winding. Permanent magnet machines avoid the loss due to the magnetizing current in the rotor. These devices are limited in size due to the price of the magnet material. As the permanent magnet field is constant, the terminal voltage varies directly with the generator speed.
