Permanent Magnets in Electric Vehicles, Permanent Magnetics in Electric Vehicles EV Motors and permanent magnets Rare-Earth magnets are higher in cost than copper windings, making the option of using a magnet-less AC induction or brushed DC motor attractive. Many applications (vacuum cleaners, mixers, hair dryers, most home fans, etc) will opt for the less expensive [...]
What’s The Difference Between Brush DC And Brushless DC Motors? The motor and motor control markets are thriving in a number of areas, particularly medical and robotic applications. Also, there is a rich demand for small, efficient, high- and low-torque, and high- and low-power motors in the automotive sector. These applications can choose from brush [...]
DC Motor, Brushed DC Motors, Brushless DC Motors DC Motor - There are many motor choices on the market today, from heavy-duty AC motors to tiny DC brushless and stepper motors. To select the right motor for the application, users must have a full understanding of the application parameters, including power, speed, torque, physical size, efficiency, lifetime [...]
DC Brush Motors - The Classic The DC brush motor is one of the simplest motors in use today. You can find these motors just about anywhere. They are in household appliances, toys, and automobiles. Being simple to construct and control, these motors are the go-to solution for professionals and hobbyists alike. The Anatomy of [...]
Brush DC Motor Drivers - Brush DC motors are the most widely used drivers due to their low cost and simple drive control options. Typical brush DC motors consist of a rotating electromagnet surrounded by a permanent magnet. Rotational torque is produced by the interaction of the magnetic fields and continuous rotation is produced by [...]
Brush DC Motor Basics Brush DC technology originates from a design based on an ironless rotor (self-supporting coil) combined with a precious metal or carbon copper commutation system and a rare earth magnet, ferrite or Alnico magnet. It offers distinct advantages for high-performance drive and servo systems: low friction, low starting voltage, absence of iron [...]
