Not all motors provide the same benefits. 

Not all motors provide the same benefit. Discover the differences between the two primary DC motor technologies in this comprehensive white paper.  The goal is for our readers to gain a better understand of the function, design, and implementation of the BLDC (brushless) and PMDC (Permanent Magnet) motors. To conclude the white paper, we will provide some points to remember for the selection process of a DC motor for your upcoming applications.  

 Topics covered in the white paper include

  • Technical overviews (construction, operation, performance characteristics)
  • Advantages and disadvantages of each technology
  • Application examples
  • Cost implications
  • Maintenance considerations
