Brushed or Brushless Motors?
Introductions to Brushed & Brushless Motors Hey everyone. This is Eric Cooper. I’m here again with some food for thought in the tools industry. It has been several years now that brushless motors have begun to spread through the professional tools industry and change everything to cordless tools . What is really going on? You will face huge differences when dealing with brushed and brushless motors . But, before we go through these numerous differences, let’s take a look at the fundamentals of how a DC motor works. The first thing that comes to mind when operating a motor is all just the magnets. The oppositely charged magnets are completely attracted to each other. The basic observation inside a DC motor is to have a constant pull forward by keeping the opposite charge of the rotating piece (which is the rotor) and attracting the still magnets (which is the stator) in front of the rotor. There are four main parts inside a brushed motor : a ring of magnets , an armature ...
