While embedded controller BLDC motors are initially more expensive than high-quality brush motors, they end up being more cost efficient when one considers the direct and indirect savings.
BLDC Motors vs. Brush DC Motors: Understanding the Differences [Infographic]
As the market moves away from brushed DC motors to BLDC motors, it is imperative to weigh the options of both in order to find the best fit for your application.
Capacitive Technology & BLDC Motors
The latest applications to take advantage of the benefits of BLDC motors are capacitive-sensing technologies that use capacitive touch switches, like elevator buttons, digital calipers and MP3 players.
Increased BLDC Motor Efficiency with Optical Encoders
The brushless DC motor is increasing in popularity because of its long lifespan, increased stability and efficiency. With the help of optical encoders, BLDC motors can meet the precise design requirements that you seek.
Brushless DC Motor Technology & the HVAC Industry
Electric motors account for up to 50 percent of the energy used in U.S. commercial buildings, 60 percent of the energy used in U.S. industrial buildings and about 45 p ercent of the total global energy consumption. To help curb energy use, more industries are integrating brushless DC motors into their systems, particularly those in the HVAC industry. What is a BLDC Motor? There are two basic types of motors: those with brushes and those without. BLDC, or brushless, motors don’t have carbon brushes or commutators, which can cause premature wear and tear. Instead, they use a controller board to…

Understanding Brushless DC Motor Efficiencies
Brushless motors are a hot commodity in the automotive industry, as well as for robotic and medical applications. By knowing the differences that BLDC motors and brush DC motors offer, you can make an educated decision about the best type for your application. Brush DC Motor Efficiencies Cost: Brushed DC motors are generally less expensive than their brushless counterparts. Simple control: The motors have a two-wire control and need little to no control in fixed-speed designs. Magnet placement: In brushless motors, the magnets are in the rotor. This means that connections, a commutator and brushes aren’t needed because of the…
Stepper Motors vs. BLDC Motors: Differences & Uses
When you need a motor for an application, you may not know if a brushless DC motor or stepper motor is best. In principle, both types are permanent-magnet synchronous motors. The difference is in their specific characteristics and mode of operation. BLDC Motors Brushless DC motors are highly reliable and efficient, and have a high power-to-volume ratio. This high-power motor can deliver large amounts of torque over a range of speeds. BLDC motors are electronically commutated constantly changing the waveforms being delivered to a wound stator. Brushless motors with an outer rotor tend to operate at lower speeds and have…
