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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Not all motors provide the same benefit. Discover the differences between the two primary DC motor technologies in this comprehensive white paper. The goal is for our readers to gain a better ...

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 ...

Just as fractional horsepower gearmotors freed factories in the 1920s from their cumbersome, inefficient, and unreliable overhead “networks” of shafts and pulleys connected by leather belts, today’s ...

A big part of the Hackaday Prize this year is robotics modules, and already we’ve seen a lot of projects adding intelligence to motors. Whether that’s current sensing, RPM feedback, PID control, or ...
