I. Introduction
With the vigorous development of the power tool market, the motor as its core component, its performance directly affects the overall performance of power tools. At present, the common motors in power tools are mainly brush motors and brushless motors. So, what‘s the difference between these two motors? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? This article will tell you one by one.
2.Second, the basic principle of brush motor and brushless motor
Brush machine
Brush machine
Brush motors, also known as DC motors, work on the principle that the rotor inside the motor produces rotating motion through the force of the current in the magnetic field. In a brushed motor, the current contacts the commutator on the rotor through the carbon brush, thereby changing the direction of the current and achieving continuous rotation of the motor.
Brushless machine
Brushless motor, also known as permanent magnet synchronous motor or electronic commutator motor. Unlike brushed motors, the direction of the current in brushless motors is not changed by mechanical contact, but by an electronic controller (such as an ECU) to control the direction of the current. The rotor of the brushless motor is usually made of permanent magnet material, and the stator is installed with a plurality of windings. By controlling the on-off and sequence of the current in the windings, the rotor is subjected to continuous torque in the magnetic field, so as to achieve continuous rotation of the motor.
3.Third, the difference between brush motor and brushless motor
Structural difference
The structure of the brush motor is relatively simple, mainly composed of carbon brush, commutator, rotor, stator and other components. The structure of brushless motor is more complex, including permanent magnet rotor, winding stator, electronic controller and other components. Because brushless motors do not require carbon brushes and commutators, they are more compact, smaller and lighter in weight.
Control mode
The control mode of brush motor is relatively simple, usually only need to control the power supply and the size of the current. The control of brushless motor is more complex, and the electronic controller is needed to precisely control the on-off and sequence of the current in the winding to achieve accurate control of the motor.
performance
In terms of performance, brushless motors usually have higher efficiency, lower noise and longer life. Because brushless motors do not require mechanical contact between the carbon brush and the commutator, they have less friction loss and higher energy conversion efficiency. At the same time, the speed and torque control of the brushless motor is more precise, enabling smoother operation and higher accuracy. In addition, the life of brushless motors is usually longer than that of brushed motors, because the mechanical structure of brushless motors is simpler and the wear and failure rate is lower.
4.Four, the advantages and disadvantages of brush motor and brushless motor
Advantages and disadvantages of brush motor
Advantages:
(1) Simple structure, low manufacturing cost. The structure of the brush motor is relatively simple, and the manufacturing process is mature, so its manufacturing cost is relatively low.
(2) Easy to repair and replace. Because of the simple structure of the brush motor, it is relatively easy to repair and replace. When the carbon brush wears out or fails, it is only necessary to replace the new carbon brush to restore the normal operation of the motor.
Cons:
(1) Low efficiency and high energy consumption. Because the brush motor needs to change the current direction through the mechanical contact between the carbon brush and the commutator, the friction loss is large and the energy conversion efficiency is low. At the same time, the carbon brush will produce wear and sparks during the working process, further increasing energy consumption and noise.
(2) Short life and frequent maintenance. Because the mechanical structure of the brushed motor is more complex, and the carbon brush will produce wear and sparks during the working process, its life is relatively short. At the same time, in order to maintain the normal working state of the motor, it is necessary to regularly replace the carbon brush and maintain.
Advantages and disadvantages of brushless motor
Advantages:
(1) High efficiency and low energy consumption. Because brushless motors do not require mechanical contact between the carbon brush and the commutator, they have less friction loss and higher energy conversion efficiency. At the same time, the speed and torque control of the brushless motor is more precise, enabling smoother operation and higher accuracy.
(2) Low noise and long life. Because the structure of brushless motors is more compact and simple, and there is no mechanical contact between the carbon brush and the commutator, it is relatively quiet. At the same time, the life of brushless motors is usually longer than that of brushed motors because of its simpler mechanical structure and lower wear and failure rates.
(3) High control accuracy and strong applicability. The brushless motor uses an electronic controller to precisely control the on-off and the sequence of the current in the winding, so as to realize the precise control of the motor. This makes brushless motors more suitable for applications that require high precision control and regulation.
Cons:
(1) High manufacturing cost. Due to the more complex structure of brushless motors and the need to be equipped with high-precision components such as electronic controllers, their manufacturing costs are relatively high.
(2) Maintenance difficulties. Due to the complex structure of brushless motors and the need for sophisticated electronic control components, their maintenance and replacement are also relatively difficult. When the brushless motor fails, it usually requires professional technicians to overhaul and repair.
Brushed motor and brushless motor have their own advantages and disadvantages, suitable for different occasions and needs. When choosing power tools, it is necessary to choose the right type of motor according to the specific use environment and needs. For occasions that require high efficiency, low noise and long life, brushless motors are a better choice; For cost-sensitive and convenient maintenance occasions, brush motors are more advantageous.
