Key Concepts

Armature in Electromechanical Devices

In the context of electrical machines like motors and generators, an armature is the part that carries current and interacts with magnetic fields to produce motion or electricity. It typically consists of windings mounted on a rotating shaft, and its interaction with the stationary magnetic field creates the forces necessary for the mechanical work or electrical generation.

Armature in Sculpture

In sculpture, an armature is the supportive framework around which a sculpture is constructed. It serves as the internal structure that holds the shape and provides stability, allowing artists to build and manipulate materials like clay, plaster, or other media to achieve the desired form before the final layers are applied.
