Generators typically use pulleys and flexible belts to connect to the main shaft.
A generator is a mechanical device that converts other forms of energy into electrical energy. It is driven by water turbine, steam turbine, diesel engine or other electric machines to convert the energy generated by water flow, air. flow, fuel combustion or atomic nuclear fission in Mechanical energy is transmitted to the generator, which is then converted into electrical energy. Generators are widely used in industrial and agricultural production, national defense, science and technology and daily life.
Generators come in many forms, but their operating principles are all based on the law of electromagnetic induction and the law of electromagnetic force. Therefore, the general principle of its construction is as follows: utilize suitable magnetic and conductive materials to form magnetic circuits and circuits that conduct electromagnetic induction with each other to generate electromagnetic energy and achieve the goal of energy conversion. In order to alleviate the impact and mechanical rigidity of the mechanical transmission, a belt drive is generally used to connect the main engine and the generator.
