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, ...

Much has been written about the process of selecting motors for applications in motion control. Motor selection can be complicated. The decisions to be made include whether to employ brushless or ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Brushless motor technology has been the rage in cordless power tools the last couple of years. Every major manufacturer now sells a brushless lineup of tools, but is it worth it for you? Brushless ...

Brushless motors offer greater efficiency, durability, and speed control compared to brushed motors used in pump systems.

Maxon has introduced a controller board for brushed DC and brush-less dc motors up to 1,800W (30A) continuous duty and 3,600W (60A) peak, designed for integrating inside products. Operation is across ...
