BLDC motor stands for Brushless Direct Current Motor. Typically a DC Motor is a motor that works on a direct current supply. A DC motor is made up of different major parts namely, magnetic field system and rotors. Now when we talk about BLDC Motor which is a type of DC motor. Learn about the construction, advantages, and applications of brushless DC motors (BLDC), which use electronic controllers to switch DC currents to the motor windings. Compare BLDC with brushed DC motors and see examples of BLDC in computer peripherals, tools, and vehicles. What is a Brushless DC or BLDC Motor? A Brushless DC Motor, BLDC accomplishes commutation electronically using rotor position feedback to determine when to switch the current. The BLDC motor is electrically commutated by power switches instead of brushes. The structure of Brushless DC Motor, BLDC is shown in figure below. Brushless DC Motors (BLDC motors) offer an efficient, reliable, and low-maintenance alternative to traditional brushed motors by using electronic commutation instead of mechanical brushes.
