Technical Manual Series: Types of Brushless Motors
Brushless motors are an essential component in modern automation and industrial applications, offering high efficiency, precision, and durability. In this first part of the Technical Manual Series on brushless motors, we will explore the three primary types: inner rotor, outer rotor, and disk rotor. Each design has unique characteristics that make it suitable for different applications.
Brushless motors operate using permanent magnets, windings, magnetic pole sensors, and a drive circuit. Unlike traditional brushed DC motors, they eliminate the need for physical brushes and commutators, reducing wear and increasing lifespan. This design allows for better speed control and energy efficiency. Brushless motors can operate across a wide range of speeds, from low to high, making them ideal for various applications such as robotics, HVAC systems, and electric vehicles.
Historically, brushless motors were more expensive due to the use of rare-earth magnets and complex drive circuits. However, with advancements in electronics and manufacturing, costs have decreased significantly, leading to broader adoption in consumer appliances like air conditioners, refrigerators, and washing machines. Their compact size and high power output also make them popular in drones, cooling fans, and other space-constrained environments.
Now, let's take a closer look at the three main types of brushless motors:
### 1.1 Inner Rotor Type
The inner rotor type is the most common configuration. The rotor is located inside the stator, with permanent magnets mounted on its outer surface. Due to its smaller diameter and lower moment of inertia, this design offers excellent acceleration and deceleration performance. It is also more efficient in heat dissipation, allowing for a compact yet powerful motor. This type is widely used in conveyor systems, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), and material handling equipment.
### 1.2 Outer Rotor Type
In the outer rotor type, the rotor surrounds the stator, and the permanent magnets are placed on the inner surface of the rotor. This design provides a larger number of magnetic poles, which can increase torque and power output in a compact form. However, the larger moment of inertia makes it less responsive to quick start-stop cycles. Additionally, the stator is enclosed, which can lead to poor heat dissipation unless properly ventilated. This type is commonly found in drone motors and cooling fans where stability and high torque are required.
### 1.3 Disk Rotor Type
The disk rotor type features a flat, disc-shaped rotor with permanent magnets mounted on its surface. The stator is typically mounted on a printed circuit board, making this motor very thin and suitable for applications with limited space. It is often used in hard disk drives, optical disc players, and other devices requiring precise, stable rotation under light loads. While Oriental Motor does not offer this type, they provide flat-type stepper motors for positioning and indexing tasks.
In the next part of this series, we will cover brushed DC motors and their differences from brushless designs. Stay tuned for more technical insights and product recommendations from Oriental Motor.
