Considerable segmentation exists in IC taxonomy, and it’s easy to think that the motor world is less fragmented, but that idea is a misconception. Among the major motor categories are brushless units, ...

The broad world of DC motors is divided into two basic categories: brushed and brushless. The brushed motor has been around “forever” and while billions of such motors in use prove it can work well, ...

What Is a Brushless Motor? A brushless motor is a type of electric motor that works without brushes touching the rotor. Compared to traditional brushed motors, brushless motors last longer and are ...

There are trade-offs between brushed and brushless motors, considering factors such as maintenance, efficiency and upfront costs, Control Design writes. For automation engineers, the evolving ...

Brushless-dc motors are taking center stage in medical-equipment design because they last twice as long a competing technologies. • Sensorless brushless-dc-drives have evolved to a point where they ...

A fundamental understanding of the speed-torque curve it the key to specifying a dc motor that will do everything it needs to do. Much has been written about the process of selecting motors for ...

A motor — or a generator — requires some normal magnets and some electromagnets. The usual arrangement is to have a brushed commutator that both powers the electromagnets and switches their polarity ...

[Thinking Techie] takes us back to basics in a recent video explaining how magnets, coils, brushed DC motors, and brushless DC motors work. If this is on your “to learn” list, or you just want a ...

When choosing a DC motor system for your specific application, several aspects have to be considered prior to deciding to choose a brushed or brushless DC motor, such as: Once these factors have been ...
