Why Use a Brushless Motor?
What this means is that a brushless motor has fewer parts that can wear out and need to be replaced. With a brushless DC motor, also called a BLDC motor, there is never any need to be concerned about the condition of the brushes, which could require that the motor be taken out of service and restored. Brushless motors can be just as effective for high speed operation as a brushed motor, if not more, but because there are no brushes to replace, a motor that is brushless can have a life expectancy in excess of 10,000 hours. For a project where a motor is only going to be used for a short time, a brushed DC motor may be sufficient and cost effective. But if a motor is going to be in continuous use, especially if its going to be required to take on a lot of power, a brushless motor is a much better choice. The amount of money a company can save by having to replace or repair its motors less often far outweighs the difference in cost between brush DC motors and brushless DC motors, even con
