Brushless Servo Motors
BLDC Servo Motors
Brushless servo motors are those that have windings in the stator and permanent magnets attached to the rotor. No brushes are used. These servo motors provide high acceleration, high torque, and no maintenance. They offer the highest torque-to-weight ratio and can be used in the most precise, demanding applications. Brushless motors are available in both metric and imperial frame sizes, and in both slotted and slotless designs. Get in touch with us for a quote on a brushless servo motor!
Advantages of Brushless Servo Motors
Brushless servo motors offer the highest torque-to-weight ratio and offer several other advantages:
- Higher Output: higher speed and torque control
- Low Maintenance: the lack of brushes means that the motor’s lifetime is no longer limited by the brush’s life and there is less of a need for maintenance
- Positioning Accuracy: brushless servo motors with positional sensors create a reliable closed-loop system. This ensures high accuracy and rotation repeatability
- Compact Size: space saving design allows them to fit in smaller spaces
- Reduced noise: operation at <50dB is typical
- Improved reliability: with no brushes to replace, downtown is decreased
Because of the design of brushless servo motors, with no windings in the rotor, they are not subjected to centrifugal forces and they can be cooled by conduction. All of these factors mean that the motor’s internals can be entirely enclosed and protected from dirt or foreign debris.

Frequently Asked Brushless Servo Motors Questions
What is a Brushless Servo Motor?
Brushless servo motors are those that have windings in the stator and permanent magnets attached to the rotor. No brushes are used. These servo motors provide high acceleration, high torque, and no maintenance.
What is the advantage of a Brushless Motor?
Brushless servo motors offer several advantages over brushed servo motors including higher output, low maintenance and longer lifespan, positioning accuracy, compact size, and improved reliability.
What is the difference between brushless and brushed motors?
In brushed servo motors, a stator with two magnets surrounds a turning rotor. When brushed servo motor is connected to a power source, a magnetic field torque is created and the rotor turns around its axis. The flow of electric is switched with a commutator consisting of a collector and brushes. In a brushless servo motor, permanent magnets are attached to the rotor which turns around a fixed stator. There are no brushes and a special solid-state circuit is used to control the current supply to the stator.
