Learn about brushless DC motor (BLDC), a type of permanent magnet synchronous electric motor that uses electronic commutation instead of brushes. Find out how BLDC motors are constructed, how they work, and what applications they have in various fields. A brushless DC motor (also known as a BLDC motor or BL motor) is an electronically commuted DC motor which does not have brushes. The controller provides pulses of current to the motor windings which control the speed and torque of the synchronous motor. Brushless DC Motors (BLDC motors) offer an efficient, reliable, and low-maintenance alternative to traditional brushed motors by using electronic commutation instead of mechanical brushes. Learn about the construction, advantages, and applications of brushless DC motors (BLDC), which use electronic controllers to switch DC currents to the motor windings. Compare BLDC with brushed DC motors and see examples of BLDC in computer peripherals, tools, and vehicles.
