How to Evaluate Pole Pitch?

Pole Pitch evaluator uses Pole Pitch = (pi*Armature Diameter)/Number of Poles to evaluate the Pole Pitch, Pole pitch is defined as the peripheral distance between the center of two adjacent poles in a DC machine. This distance is measured in terms of armature slots or armature conductors that come between two adjacent pole centers. Pole Pitch is denoted by Yp symbol.

How to evaluate Pole Pitch using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Pole Pitch, enter Armature Diameter (Da) & Number of Poles (n) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Pole Pitch

What is the formula to find Pole Pitch?
The formula of Pole Pitch is expressed as Pole Pitch = (pi*Armature Diameter)/Number of Poles. Here is an example- 0.392699 = (pi*0.5)/4.
How to calculate Pole Pitch?
With Armature Diameter (Da) & Number of Poles (n) we can find Pole Pitch using the formula - Pole Pitch = (pi*Armature Diameter)/Number of Poles. This formula also uses Archimedes' constant .
Can the Pole Pitch be negative?
No, the Pole Pitch, measured in Length cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Pole Pitch?
Pole Pitch is usually measured using the Meter[m] for Length. Millimeter[m], Kilometer[m], Decimeter[m] are the few other units in which Pole Pitch can be measured.
