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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

When comparing the attributes of a brushless motor with those of its brush motor equivalent, the most notable difference is the reduction in size and weight for the brushless motor offering the same ...

Klaus Neuenhueskes looks at brushless DC motor control in cars and discovers that H-bridge controllers have specific advantages for designers. According to a recent report by research firm IHS, around ...
