Brushless and brushed DC motors essentially perform the same function of converting electric current into rotational motion. However, there are still several differences between the two types of motors. Working principles will be explained before we talk about their differences. Working principle of a brushed DC motor When the motor works, the coil and commutator rotate, the magnet and carbon brush do not rotate, and the alternate change of coil current direction is achieved by the commutator and brush that rotate with the motor. Brushed motors are divided into high speed brushed motors and low speed brushed motors in the electric vehicle industry. A brushed DC motor consists of two main parts: stator and rotor. The stator has magnetic poles (winding type or permanent magnet type) and the rotor has winding, and when energized, the rotor also forms a magnetic field (magnetic poles), and there is an angle between the magnetic poles of the stator and rotor. By changing the position of the brushes, the direction of the stator-rotor pole angle can be changed, thus changing the direction of rotation of the motor. Working principle of a brushless DC Motor An electric brushless BLDC motor takes electronic commutation, where the coil does not move and the magnetic poles rotate. It uses a set of electronic devices to sense the position of the magnetic poles of the permanent magnets through Hall elements. Electronic circuits are used to switch the direction of the current in the coils at the right time to ensure that the correct direction of magnetic force is generated to drive the motor. These circuits are the motor controllers. The controller of a custom BLDC motor can also realize some functions that cannot be realized by a brushed motor, such as adjusting the power switching angle, braking the motor, reversing the motor, locking the motor, and stopping supplying power to the motor by using the brake signal. A brushless DC motor consists of a motor body and driver, which is a typical mechatronic product. Since the brushless DC motor operates in a self-controlled manner, it does not add another starting winding to the rotor like a synchronous motor that starts under heavy load under frequency regulation. Differences between brushed DC motors and brushless DC motors 1. Mode of speed regulation The speed regulation process of brushed DC motors is to adjust the motor power supply voltage level. The adjusted voltage and current are converted through the rectifier and brushes to change the strength of the magnetic field generated by the electrodes, thus changing the speed. This process is called variable voltage speed regulation. The speed control process of a brushless DC motor is to keep the voltage of the motor power supply unchanged, change the control signal of the ESC, and then change the switching rate of high power MOS tube through microprocessor to realize the change of speed. This process is called variable frequency speed regulation. 2. Simple structure and long development history of the brushed DC motor A brushed DC motor is a traditional product with more stable performance, and a brushless DC motor is an upgraded product with better life performance than ba rushed motor. However, the brushless motor has a complicated control circuit, so it has a more strict aging screening requirement for components. Soon after the brushless motor was born, people invented the brushed DC motor. The brushed DC motor has been widely used once it was launched on the market due to its features: simple mechanism; easy to produce, process, maintain, and control; fast response; large starting torque; rated torque is available from zero speed to rated speed. 3. Fast response and large starting torque of the brushed DC motor The brushed DC motor has fast starting response, high starting torque, and smooth variable speed, so vibration can hardly be felt when the speed changes from zero to maximum, and a larger load can be driven when starting. The electric brushless BLDAC motor has large starting resistance (inductive resistance), so the power factor is small, the starting torque is relatively small, there is a humming sound accompanied by strong vibration when starting, and the starting drive load is smaller. 4. The brushed DC motor runs smoothly and has perfect starting and braking effect The speed of the brushed DC motor is regulated by voltage regulation, so it starts and brakes smoothly, and runs smoothly at a constant speed. The brushless DC motor is usually digital frequency conversion control that converts AC into DC, then DC into AC again, and controls speed through frequency change, so the brushless motor cannot run smoothly and vibrates strongly. 5. High precision control of brushed DC motors Brushed DC motors are usually used together with gearboxes and decoders to make the motors have more output power and higher control accuracy, thus allowing the moving parts to stop almost anywhere. All precision machine tools use DC motors to control accuracy. Brushless motors are not smooth in starting and braking, so the moving parts will stop at different positions every time, and must be stopped at the desired position by means of positioning pins or limiters. 6. Brushed DC motors have low cost and are easy to maintain Its simple structure, low production cost, many manufacturers, and mature technologies enable the brushed DC motor to have more widespread applications, such as factories, processing machine tools, and precision instruments, etc. In case of motor failure, you should only replace the carbon brush. Brushless DC motor has immature technology and expensive price, so it has limited applications, such as inverter air conditioners, refrigerators, and other constant speed equipment. 7. The brushless DC motor has low interference According to the brushless motor factory, the most immediate change of a brushless DC motor is the absence of electric sparks generated by the brushed motor operation, which greatly reduces the interference of electric sparks to remote control radio equipment. 8. Low noise and smooth running Without brushes, brushless motors run smoothly with much less

The permanent magnet synchronous motor, referred to as PMSM, is actually an AC motor. Its stator runs with a three-phase difference alternating current, while its rotor is a permanent magnet. Do you know its advantages? Most of you may know that it can help save much electricity, and it’s true. But do you know other advantages? If not, Jiangsu Leili Motor Co., Ltd., a well-known micro-motor supplier with the ability of R&D and manufacture, will explain four major advantages of permanent magnet synchronous motor. 1. High efficiency High quality synchronous motor factory finds that the high efficiency does not only mean that the efficiency of permanent magnet synchronous motor at the rated power is higher than that of ordinary three-phase asynchronous frequency-controlled motor, but also refers to that the excitation field of permanent magnet synchronous motor is provided by permanent magnets in the whole speed range. And the rotor requires no excitation current, which increases the motor efficiency. It can save electricity at any speed point compared with an asynchronous frequency-controlled motor, especially at low speed. 2. Low starting current and high starting torque Due to the characteristics of the inverter, the asynchronous variable speed motor has low main magnetic field, low power factor, heavy starting current and small starting torque when starting at low frequency, while Jiangsu Leili permanent magnet synchronous variable speed motor that is made by a well-known China synchronous motor supplier, has constant main magnetic field, active stator current, low starting current and high starting torque. 3. Excellent energy consumption indicators The energy consumption indicators of the motor are the product of motor efficiency and power factor. When an asynchronous variable speed motor works under load, its efficiency, power factor, and energy consumption indicators decrease. However, the efficiency and power factor of Jiangsu Leili permanent magnet synchronous motor approximate a horizontal curve, and its energy consumption indicators are under full load even when the motor is only loaded, which further improves the electricity efficiency and power quality factor. 4. Small size and light weight High-performance permanent magnet materials are used to provide a magnetic field, which greatly enhances the air gap magnetic field and reduces the size and weight of a permanent magnet motor compared with an induction motor. Based on the above advantages, permanent magnet synchronous motor is the best choice for inverter drive motor because it’s more efficient and energy-saving than ordinary three-phase asynchronous inverter motor!

Control Modes of A Servo Motor A motion controller usually uses two types of commands to control servo motors: digital pulse and analogue signal. 1. Digital pulse In this method, which is similar to the control mode of the stepper motor, the motion controller sends “pulse/direction” or “CW/CCW” type pulse command signal to the servo motor driver, which works in the position control mode and completes the position closed loop. This control model is adopted by most Japanese and domestic servo motor products. Pros: easy to debug the servo motor system; not easy to produce interference. Cons: low servo system response. 2. Analog signal In this control mode, the motion control system sends +/-10V analog voltage commands to the servo driver, and receives position feedback signals from position detection elements such as motor encoders or linear encoders. Most of the servo products in Europe and America adopt this mode of operation. Pros: fast servo response. Cons: more sensitive to field interference; slightly complicated debugging. Since you have known the above two control modes of the servo motor, Leili Motor will next describe six steps to debug the servo motor by analog signal. 6 Debugging Steps 1. Parameter initialization Initialize the parameters before wiring. On the controller: Choose the control mode, reset the PID parameter, set off the enable signal when the controller is energized as default, store this condition and ensure that when the controller is energized the next time, this condition is as default. On the servo motor: Set the control mode, set to enable controlling from outside, gear ratio output by encoder signal, set the proportional relation between control signal and motor speed. Generally, it is suggested that the maximum design speed in servo operating should correspond to 9V control voltage. 2. Wire connection Shut down the controller and connect the signal wire between the controller and servo motor. The following wires must be connected: the analogue output wire of the controller, enabling signal wire, and encoder signal wire output by the servo motor. After the wire connection is rechecked and there is nothing wrong, energize the servo motor and the controller (including PC). And then the servo motor should have no motion and can rotate easily by external force. If not, check the setting of enabling signal and wire connection. External force should be used to rotate the servo motor to check if the controller can detect the motor position change. If not, check wire connection and setting of encoder signal. 3. Direction testing For one closed loop control system, if the direction of feedback signal is incorrect, the consequences must be disastrous. Turn on the enable signal of the servo motor attachments via the controller, and the servo motor should rotate at a lower speed, which is called “zero drift”, whose command or parameter will be displayed on the controller. The command or parameter can help you to confirm whether the speed and direction of the servo motor can be controlled by the command or parameter. 4. Zero drift inhabitation During the closed loop control, the existence of zero drift will have certain influence on the control effect and you’d better restrain it. Adjust carefully using the parameters of zero drift inhabitation on the controller or the servo motor to make the motor speed close to zero. 5. Closed-loop control building Turn on the servo enable signal again by the controller and input a smaller ratio gain on the controller. Turn on the enable signal of the controller and servo motor. 6. Closed loop parameter adjustment Adjust the control parameters finely to ensure that the servo motor moves in accordance with the command from the controller.

What is the difference between a differential motor and a brushless motor? The rotor of a differential motor is a coil winding, connected to the power output shaft, and the stator is a permanent magnet; the rotor of a brushless motor is a permanent magnet, connected to the output shaft together with the housing, and the stator is a winding coil, without the commutation brushes used to change the electromagnetic field alternately in a differential motor, so it is called a brushless motor. It is called a brushless motor. Both differential motors and brushless motors are motors used to drive mechanical equipment, but their working principles and application scenarios are very different. A differential motor is a special type of motor that enables a vehicle to steer by making the two wheels move at different speeds when turning. A differential motor is generally composed of an electric motor, a re-speeder, an interpolator, a fork and other components. Differential motors are mechanically efficient and have high steering accuracy, but can only be used for specific applications, such as for maintaining smooth and controlled steering while the vehicle is moving. Brushless motors, on the other hand, are a common type of motor, also known as brushless DC motors (BLDC), which work by converting electrical energy into magnetic energy and mechanical motion to achieve work. It has the advantages of higher efficiency, lower noise and longer life than traditional DC motors, and is widely used in industry, household appliances, automobiles, aviation and other fields. Therefore, differential motors and brushless motors are very different in terms of working principle, usage scenarios and application areas. Differential And Brushless Motor, Which Is Better Motors have an important role in many scenarios, especially in industrial applications, which is better: differential motors or motors? It is the most commonly used type of motor. So, differential motor and brushless First, from the motor structure, differential motor and ordinary motor structure is basically the same, only an additional reducer mounted on the motor shaft, while the brushless motor structure is more complex, consisting of three parts: brushless motor winding, position sensor and intelligent circuit controller, which makes its mechanical structure more complex. Secondly, in terms of power output, brushless motors are mainly known for low noise, low heat emission, low loss and high performance, compared with traditional motors, the performance advantages of brushless motors are more obvious, while differential motors are limited by the reducer, and the power output will be reduced accordingly. Furthermore, in terms of noise, temperature and heat generation, brushless motors have lower noise and lower heat generation, and the temperature control of brushless motors is more accurate, compared to differential motors, which will have higher heat generation and higher noise. In addition, from the viewpoint of power transmission, brushless motor can achieve precise torque control, no maintenance, and more stable operation; while differential motor needs regular maintenance, and power transmission cannot meet the requirements of high precision. Considering from the control system, brushless motor can realize precise position control and can realize higher precision motion control; while differential motor has a more complex control system and more complicated motion control due to the limitation of the reducer. Finally, from the price consideration, brushless motor is more expensive, but its price is not much higher than the price of ordinary motor; while the price of differential motor is lower, but its maintenance cost is higher. To sum up, brushless motors and differential motors have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the right type of motor should be selected according to the actual situation and application scenario. Brushless motors have superior performance and can achieve higher precision motion control, but are more expensive, while differential motors are less expensive but have poorer performance in terms of power output, noise, and temperature control. Therefore, users should choose the most suitable motor type according to their needs.

A stepper motor has a simple structure and can be speed-regulated over a wide range of frequencies, and its speed is not affected by the size of the load. As a specialist motor supplier, Leili will tell you several stepper motor control methods are described below. I. Tools / raw materials stepper motors, microcontroller, PLC, DCS II. Methods 1. Microcontroller control. A stepper motor is a digital control motor, its drive circuit works according to the control signal, it will pulse the signal into angular displacement, that is, to give a pulse signal, the stepper motor drive will rotate at an angle, so it is very suitable for microcontroller control. Through the microcontroller, control can be achieved by the pulse distribution to control the phase change sequence, from a given work mode positive sequence phase change power control of the motor (that is, to achieve the motor forward or reverse), by changing the interval between the two pulses to control the speed of the stepper motor and other adjustments. With ordinary 51 microcontrollers like AT89C2051 or STC12C1052 + THB7128 or THB6064, such chips to the combination can be. 2. Stepper motor controllers are easy to use with timing programs such as the TPC4-4TD, using the table settings without programming, you can set the pulse frequency, the number of pulses, and direction control data values, which can be achieved on the step motor drive speed control, position control, length control, timing control and a variety of basic operating functions. 3. The use of high-performance DSP, through the DSP using the bus voltage and motor running current, in the control algorithm to achieve closed-loop control of the stepper motor current, you can achieve accurate control of the step motor drive, but also through the control algorithm to improve the step motor drive in the low-speed vibration and noise. For example, the EZM series stepper drive system of Inax uses DSP control, which can get close to the servo operation performance in the low and medium speed section. 4. PLC-based control. The PIC programming output a certain number of square wave pulses, control the stepper motor angle, and thus control the servo mechanism feed, through the programming control pulse frequency to control the rotation speed of the motor, and then control the servo mechanism feed speed.

1. Stepper motors are used in low-speed applications – no more than 1000 revolutions per minute, (6666 PPS at 0.9 degrees), preferably between 1000-3000 PPS (0.9 degrees). It can be made to work in this range by means of a reduction device when the motor is working efficiently and with low noise. 2. It is best not to use the whole step state of the stepper motor, the whole step state when the vibration is large. 3. Only motors with a nominal 12V voltage use 12V. The other motor voltage value is not the drive voltage volt value, according to the driver can choose the drive voltage (Suggestion: SL57 using DC 24V-36V, SL86 using DC 50V, SL110 using higher than DC 80V). Of course, 12 volts can be used in addition to 12 V constant voltage drive other drive power, but the temperature rise should be considered. 4. Large rotational inertia of the load should choose a large seat number motor. 5. Motors at higher speeds or large inertia loads, generally not in the working speed start. Instead, use the gradual increase in frequency to speed up, a motor does not lose a step. Two can reduce noise at the same time, can improve the positioning accuracy of the stop. 6. High precision, should be through mechanical deceleration, and increase the motor speed. Or the use of a high fine fraction of the drive to solve can also be used as a 5-phase motor. However, its whole system is more expensive, with fewer manufacturers, and its elimination is a layman’s talk. 7. The motor should not work in the vibration zone, if necessary, can be solved by changing the voltage, the current, or adding some damping. 8. motor in 600PPS (0.9 degrees) below the work, should use a small current, large inductance, and low voltage to drive. 9. The principle of choosing the motor first and then the drive should be followed.
