Applications of Brushless DC Motors Brushless DC motors are replacing brushed DC motors in industrial applications due to their superior efficiency, smooth torque transmission and high speed operation. In industrial applications, brushless DC motors are often used for driving, positioning and variable speed applications. The precise motion control and stable operation of brushless DC motors are key to the operation of machinery and equipment in industrial processes. Brushless DC motors are commonly used in linear motors, servo motors, industrial robot actuators, CNC machine feed drives, etc. Brushless DC motors used in industrial applications 1、Linear motor In its simpler form, a linear motor is essentially an "unfolded rotary motor in which the poles of the stator are arranged in the direction of travel". There are many types of servo motors, including servo motors, DC brush motors and DC brushless motors and their communication AC synchronous motors. A linear servo motor consists of a slotted stator with magnetic teeth and a moving actuator with permanent magnets and coil windings. To obtain linear motion, the brushless DC motor controller excites the coil windings in the actuator, causing the interaction of magnetic fields to produce linear motion. A brushless DC motor is a device that can be driven directly without mechanical connections, hysteresis or pitch cycling errors. 2、Servo motor driver Servo motor drives are used for mechanical displacement, positioning or precision motion control based on input control and output feedback signals that establish tightly controlled, stable, closed-loop operation. Servo motor drives are commonly used in machine tool servo systems, industrial robot actuator drives, etc. Servo motor applications are distinguished from other types of motor control by their inherent high dynamic response, smooth torque generation, high reliability, and robust control, even with large variations in load inertia or motor parameters. DC stepper motors have been used in the past as servo motors; however, because they operate with open-loop control, they typically experience torque pulsation. Brushless DC motors have feedback capability, so they are better suited as servo motor drives. 3、Industrial robot actuator Permanent magnet DC motors are mainly used as actuators to move the joints of industrial robots for pick-and-place or tool positioning in assembly, welding and painting operations. Due to their compact size, power density and maintenance-free characteristics, brushless DC motors are superior to brushed DC motors in industrial robotics applications. They also operate more reliably in less favorable or hazardous environments. 4, CNC machine tool feed drive Two types of drives are used in CNC machine tools: spindle drives and feed drives. The spindle drive provides motion and power for drilling, milling or grinding operations, while the feed drive acts as an axis drive motor, essentially replacing the manual handwheel control used in traditional machine tools. While spindle drives use large DC shunts or AC squirrel-cage induction motors, feed drives typically use DC servo motors with electronic controllers. Brushless DC servo motors are used because of their good heat dissipation, reduced rotor inertia and maintenance-free operation.
