Technical Advantages of a Permanent Magenet Brushless
System
- Longer Operating Life
Eliminating brushes substantially increases the over all mean time between
failures (MTBF) of the system.
- Improved Efficiency
With efficiency ratings as high as the mid-90s, the brushless system
has a higher efficiency than equivalently rated brush, induction, stepper
or switched reluctance system. In addition, a brushless system operates
at a higher efficiencies over a wider operating range than competing
technologies.
- Higher Speed
Rotational speed of the motor is not limited by the surface contact
between the motor brushes and the commutator. Higher speeds up to as
much as 100,000 RPM are feasible with brushless motors.
- Lower Thermal
Resistance The windings in a brushless motor are located on the
stationary member, allowing heat to be removed efficiently via conduction.
Operating at lower temperatures improves the life of the motor as well
as its MTBF.
- Clean Operation
The elimination of brushes prevents the build-up of dust that occurs
in brush systems.
- Reduced Size and Weight
A brushless system is quieter than an equivalent rated brush, induction,
stepper or switched reluctance system.
- Quieter Operation
A brushless system is quieter than an equivalently rated brush,
induction, stepper pr switched reluctance system.
