DC motors are the most widely used type of motor with initial costs typically less than AC systems for low-power units. DC motors can be used for a wide range of applications from small tools and appliances, through to electric vehicles, lifts and hoists. For more about DC motors.DC Motors speed can be controlled by varying the supply voltage and are available in a wide range of voltages, however the most popular type are 12 V and 24 V, with some of the advantages being:<ul><li>Easy installation</li><li>Speed control over a wide range</li><li>Quick Starting, Stopping, Reversing and Acceleration</li><li>High Starting Torque</li><li>Linear speed-torque curve</li></ul>Types of DC MotorsThere are two common types of DC motor, brushless and brushed. In both brushless and brushed motors, magnets drive the spinning (rotary) motion of the motor shaft.<ul><li>Brushed Motors These are a more traditional type of motor and are typically used in cost-sensitive applications, where control systems are relatively simple, such as in consumer applications and more basic industrial equipment.</li><li>Brushless Motors Brushless motors alleviate some of the issues associated with brushed motors such as short life span for high use applications and are mechanically much simpler in design (not having brushes). The advantages of brushless motors are longer life, little maintenance and high efficiency (85-90%). These types of motors are generally used in speed and positional control with applications such as fans, pumps and&nbsp;<a href="https://uk.rs-online.com/web/c/facilities-cleaning-maintenance/facility-maintenance-equipment/air-compressors/">air compressors</a>, where reliability and ruggedness are required.</li></ul>ApplicationsDC Motors can be used in applications such as conveyor belts and turntables, or in industrial machines where constant ar low-speed torque is needed.For more information, please see our <a href="/web/content/discovery/ideas-and-advice/dc-motors-guide">comprehensive DC motors guide</a>.

A brushless motor is an electric motor that operates without the use of brushes and a commutator, which are typically found in traditional brushed motors. Instead, brushless motors use electronic commutation to control the rotation of the motor.In a brushless motor, the rotor (the rotating part) contains permanent magnets, while the stator (the stationary part) consists of electromagnets. The electromagnets are energized in a sequence determined by the motor's control system, which is usually a microcontroller or an electronic speed controller (ESC).The electronic control system monitors the rotor position using sensors or back electromotive force (EMF) feedback and applies power to the appropriate electromagnets at the right time. By energizing the electromagnets in a specific sequence, the magnetic field generated interacts with the permanent magnets on the rotor, resulting in continuous rotation.<h2>What are the benefits of brushless motors?</h2><ul><li>Higher Efficiency: Brushless motors are more efficient due to the absence of brushes, which eliminates the friction and energy loss associated with brush contact.</li><li>Longer Lifespan: The absence of brushes reduces mechanical wear and tear, increasing the lifespan of brushless motors.</li><li>Higher Power-to-Weight Ratio: Brushless motors typically have a higher power-to-weight ratio compared to brushed motors.</li><li>Reduced Electrical Noise: Brushes in brushed motors can generate electrical noise or electromagnetic interference (EMI) during operation.</li><li>Precise Speed and Torque Control: Brushless motors offer precise control over motor speed and torque through electronic commutation.</li><li>Higher Maximum Speed: Brushless motors can often achieve higher maximum speeds than brushed motors due to their design and electronic commutation.</li></ul><h4>&nbsp;Applications</h4><ul><li>Electric Vehicles</li><li>Drones</li><li>Industrial Machinery</li><li>HVAC Systems: Heating</li><li>Household Appliances</li><li>Aerospace</li><li>Medical Equipment</li></ul>&nbsp;
