A brushless DC electric motor, also known as an electronically commutated motor, is a synchronous motor using a direct current electric power supply. It uses an electronic controller to switch DC curr
The motor from a 3.5 in floppy disk drive. The coils, arranged radially, are made from copper wire coated with blue insulation. The rotor (upper right) has been removed and turned upside-down. The gray ring inside its cup is a permanent magnet. This particular motor is an outrunner, with the stator inside the rotor.
DC brushless ducted fan. The two coils on the printed circuit board interact with six round permanent magnets in the fan assembly.
The four poles on the stator of a two-winding single-phase brushless motor. This is part of a computer cooling fan; the rotor has been removed.
A microprocessor-controlled BLDC motor powering a micro radio-controlled airplane. This external rotor motor weighs 5 g and consumes approximately 11 W.
A synchronous electric motor is an AC electric motor in which, at steady state, the rotation of the shaft is synchronized with the frequency of the supply current. Synchronous motors use permanent mag
